The biggest question on everyone’s lips these days is those asking “where to get the COVID 19 vaccine near me?” 

The new COVID vaccines are providing hope for men and women across the country who have been anxiously awaiting its arrival.

The Vaccines

Two vaccines are now available to fight against the Coronavirus pandemic.

The first vaccine comes from Pfizer-BioNTech and received an emergency authorization by the FDA in December 2020.

Moderna produced the second FDA approved vaccine one week later for distribution.

Meanwhile, vaccines from other organizations are being evaluated for safety and efficacy to hopefully be available in the future for the public.

Who Will Get the Vaccine First?

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two shots per patient which are to be administered three to four weeks apart.

During Phase 1a of the vaccine rollout, the vaccine goes to healthcare workers and residents in long term care facilities.

Phase 1b allows the vaccine for teachers, those working in food and agriculture, utility workers, police, firefighters as well as corrections officers, and transportation workers.

The third introductory phase accounts for adults who are over the age of 65 or who have high-risk medical conditions.

Vaccine Centers

There are many pharmacies, drugstores, and national chains that are administering the vaccine to the public.

Some pharmacies where the vaccine can be located are Rite Aid, Walgreens, and CVS, among others.

There are also grocery chains that are administering the vaccines include Costco and Kroger.
