When scheduling an appointment, you’ll be able to see which manufacturer is being offered for a specific appointment date. If the location you have selected is not offering your preferred manufacturer, you have the option to view additional locations and the manufacturer they are offering that day for your appointment. Vaccine availability varies by Walgreens location and not all may be available in all areas.

The CDC has no preference for any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. If you happen to have a preference, when scheduling an appointment you’ll be able to select between Pfizer and Moderna for a specific appointment date. If you’d like to receive the Novavax vaccine, you may select “no preference” when scheduling your appointment and ask a pharmacy team member for that vaccine during your appointment.

Vaccine availability varies by Walgreens locations and not all may be available in all areas.

The CDC Bridge Access Program, which previously covered the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine for uninsured and underinsured people, has been terminated as of August 31st, 2024.

Private insurers, along with the Medicare and Medicaid government programs, are still required to cover the costs of COVID-19 vaccines for their members.

Walgreens remains committed to driving equitable and convenient access to life-saving vaccines. We will continue to work with patients eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to determine the best and most cost-efficient way to receive one.
