Pittsburgh COVID-19 Vaccinations: Where You Can, Can't Get Shots
Vaccination options continue to be limited in Pittsburgh and southwestern Pennsylvania.
PITTSBURGH, PA — Demand still far exceeds supply when it comes to getting the coronavirus vaccination, but more locations are offering them as the inoculation effort continues.
Here's where things currently stand:
- Giant Eagle pharmacies this week began offering vaccinations. Check here for locations and available appointment times. If no appointment slots appear, that means all times are booked or that particular pharmacy does not currently have the vaccine.
- Rite Aid is providing limited information on how to get a vaccination at one of its Pennsylvania locations. The chain also is stressing that vaccine supplies are "extremely limited" at this time.
- Beaver Health Mart in Beaver was forced to suspend its online vaccination registration because of a lack of supplies.
- CVS is providing vaccinations in a number of states, but Pennsylvania isn't yet one of them. The Walgreens vaccination rollout in Pennsylvania also has yet to begin. Walmart and Sam's Club locations also aren't offering them yet, nor is Costco.
The state remains in Phase 1A of the vaccination plan. Those eligible to be inoculated include long-term care facility residents, health care personnel, those under 65 and people ages 16 to 64 with serious medical conditions that make them more at risk for severe illness due to COVID-19.
