SOUTH CAROLINA (CN2 NEWS) South Carolina is the third state – of the seven, where Publix Supermarkets are located – to start offering the COVID vaccine.
Publix stores will start making appointments for the vaccine in the state of palmetto on Tuesday. Following DHEC guidelines, doses will be available only to those included in Phase 1A.
Starting this Wednesday, Publix Pharmacies in Lake Wylie and Lancaster will be offering the new COVID-19 vaccine. Store leaders say that each of these locations in Tri-County will have several Modern COIVD vaccines. And these vaccines will only be available by appointment. “
Jared Glover of Publix Supermarkets says: “People know and already love the Publix brand. They know that we love to provide great customer service and shouldn’t expect anything different when they go to the pharmacist to get these vaccines. That’s really why we wanted to make sure that they had an individual contact with the pharmacist – while each person had their specific appointment – so that they could ask questions, receive the vaccine and, of course, be monitored in a safe place where they felt comfortable. . “
As soon as appointments are made at www.Publix.com, people who register will be automatically registered for the second appointment a week later. They say they have 42 locations in 17 different counties in our state – offering the COVID-19 vaccine.
