Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. is providing booster shots of
Pfizer Inc.'s Covid-19 vaccine to eligible people nationwide, the
pharmacy chain said Friday.
The company's booster-shot roll out follows a new Food and Drug
Administration emergency-use authorization for additional shots of
the vaccine, as well as new guidance from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
People eligible for booster shots include those older than 65,
people in long-term care facilities, people with underlying medical
conditions and people who are at an increased risk of transmission
and exposure from their jobs, Walgreens said.
Walgreens is also providing booster shots of the Moderna and
Pfizer vaccines to moderately or severely immunocompromised
people.
