ShopRite Pharmacies To Deliver COVID Vaccines

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — ShopRite on Tuesday became the most recent chain to partner with the U.S. government to provide COVID-19 vaccines once they are available.

The partnership program is with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Under the program, the government will provide the vaccine to select pharmacies.

"We’re proud to take part in this groundbreaking public health campaign, which could significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19," said ShopRite vice president Jeffrey Mondelli. "The federal program is aiming to mass immunize the population throughout the spring of 2021, and our pharmacists are up to the challenge and ready to help our communities."

ShopRite pharmacies also are working with state and local governments to vaccinate priority populations that include healthcare workers, nursing home residents and frontline workers.

Locally, there are ShopRite locations in Yardley, Fairless Hills, Bensalem and Warminster. The supermarket chain has nearly 280 locations in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.

In Pennsylvania, Giant Food Stores, CVS, Weis, Acme and other chains also will be participating in the program.

Information on which pharmacy locations will distribute the vaccine are expected at a later date.

Local locations include:

• ShopRite of Yardley, 1603 Big Oak Rd.
• ShopRite of Bensalem, 2200 Bristol Rd.
• ShopRite of Fairless Hills, 547 S. Oxford Valley Rd.
• ShopRite of Warminster, 918-982 Street Rd.
