PHARMACIES REPORT INCREASE IN COVID VAX APPOINTMENTS

Some pharmacies across the state are reporting an increase in COVID-19 vaccination appointments following the FDA’s announcement. On Monday, the FDA gave Pfizer’s COVID vaccine full approval. Pharmacists like Jill Florio from Plains Township say they started receiving more phone calls afterward. She added that millions of shots have been given, so she thinks there is a lot of evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective. Florio emphasized that now is the time to get the shot, before winter and flu season comes.
