Walmart offering vaccines in Luzerne County
Walmart will again administer Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines in Luzerne County with a clinic inside the Hanover Area High School gymnasium at 1600 Sans Souci Parkway, Hanover Township from March 23 through March 25.
Eligible patients can schedule a vaccine appointment at 1-800-753-8827, Option 1, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday-Friday, making it convenient to get vaccinated while vaccine supplies last. Vaccines will be available to those who meet the current phase of vaccine eligibility in Pennsylvania, which can be found at health.pa.gov. Insurance is not required, there is no cost to receive the vaccine and appointments for the second vaccination will be made while at the first appointment.
People interested in receiving the vaccine please do not call the Hanover Area High School or show up without an appointment. Call 1-800-753-8827, Option 1.
Walmart is holding vaccine events in locations that prioritize access for those deemed most vulnerable, as well as operational capabilities. The team factored in demographic information, local health needs, staffing and medically underserved data to identify initial locations where the company thinks it can make the greatest impact in increasing vaccine access.
Walmart is partnering with CDC and states to move as quickly as possible to help administer vaccines to eligible populations in 35 participating states, Puerto Rico and District of Colombia. Vaccine supply and eligibility will vary based on state and local guidelines. In addition to appointments, the scheduler will provide a digital reminder when it is time to return for the second vaccine, which is why customers are asked to create a profile, helping to ensure customers receive the second dose of the vaccine in the timeframe required.
Walmart pharmacies will continue to support states, jurisdictions and the federal government to help increase the accessibility and availability of COVID-19 vaccines.
