Pharmacies throughout the nation and New York City—including 11 on the Upper West Side—began giving COVID-19 vaccines on Friday, as a result of a Biden administration program that ships the vaccine directly to them. State eligibility guidelines apply.
“In New York City, that means an initial shipment of 26,000 doses, with 500 each going to 250 Duane Reades, Walgreens, Rite Aids, and Costcos,” according to abc7ny.”The doses are in addition to the allocation that has gone out to states — which many local officials have said does not yet meet their demand.”
But, the CDC cautioned, “While the program will ultimately expand…it is important to know that early on, when vaccine supply is still limited, many pharmacies may not have vaccine or may have very limited supply.”
With that in mind, here is a list of the 11 UWS pharmacies currently participating in the program, as first reported by Patch:
