ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Due to new FDA and CDC guidance, Southeastern Grocers says select in-store pharmacies in Florida will begin offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to children ages 12 and older.
Starting Thursday, eligible children will be able to get a shot, either by walk-up or by scheduling an online appointment.
"In accordance with new CDC and FDA guidelines, Southeastern Grocers, parent company and home of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie stores, is encouraged to see the eligibility list continue to expand to include all individuals 12 years of age and older to receive the Pfizer vaccine," a spokesperson wrote in a statement.
"The grocer is working with state and federal health authorities to best serve customers in this newly expanded age group and will offer convenient walk-ups and online appointments to eligible individuals in select Florida and Louisiana Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie pharmacies beginning Thursday, May 13, as available."
Winn-Dixie also just announced, as an added incentive for adults to get the vaccine, a total of $15 off store products for those who get both shots of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and $10 if getting the one-shot Johnson & Johnson. You can get more information here.
