If an individual is more likely to get very sick or be hospitalized from COVID-19 and test positive, these are the only products available to be taken orally and can be dispensed from a retail pharmacy. Therapeutics are free for everyone regardless of insurance status or coverage. Customers will be asked for their insurance card to cover the dispensing fee, but those without insurance will be given the product free of charge, the company said.
COVID-19 vaccines also are available at all 133 in-store pharmacies to those who are currently eligible. Initial doses of Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, in addition to booster doses, are available at all Giant and Martin’s pharmacies to adults aged 18 years old and older. COVID-19 vaccine type may vary by location, and pharmacies offering the Pfizer vaccine can administer it to teenagers aged 12 to 17 years old with parental consent.
