ShopRite has announced that it will begin distributing coronavirus vaccines to eligible recipients in 39 of its New Jersey supermarkets with pharmacies.
The supermarket chain said that its pharmacies will start vaccinating the health professionals included in the first phase of distribution, focusing on individuals most at risk of exposure. The company hopes to expand access to the general public as additional groups become eligible.
“We are excited to be part of the early stages of this unprecedented public health campaign as we begin to vaccinate health professionals who are at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Jeffrey Mondelli, vice president of Pharmacy, Health and Beauty by Wakefern Food Corp., the logistics, distribution and merchandising arm for ShopRite stores, in a press release.
Store locations were chosen in coordination with the New Jersey Department of Health, which added ShopRite locations to the state’s complete list of distribution locations.
More than 100,000 people have received a coronavirus vaccine in New Jersey since the first doses were administered nearly three weeks ago, state health officials said on Monday. Some health professionals at Newark University Hospital also became the first people in the state to receive the second dose of the vaccine on Monday morning.
The state prioritized frontline health professionals and residents of long-term care facilities in its first vaccinated group.
ShopRite said its pharmacies received an initial shipment of the Moderna vaccine, which requires two inoculations. Vaccines are only available by appointment and there is no charge to receive vaccines, the company said.
“We are ready to serve and will continue to provide greater access to this life-saving vaccine as new expanded eligibility guidelines are launched by the CDC,” said Mondelli.
