DEERFIELD, Ill. – Walgreens has announced that adults aged 18 and over can receive a COVID-19 booster at stores nationwide beginning Saturday, Nov. 20.
Locations will offer Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson booster shots. The announcement comes after the FDA’s decision to expand emergency use authorization for Pfizer and Moderna booster vaccine to everyone 18 and older, as well as new guidance from the CDC, according to a press release.

“Expanding eligibility for booster doses provides yet another tool to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially at a time when many people are gathering for the holidays,” said Kevin Ban, M.D., chief medical officer for Walgreens.
“As friends and family look to reconnect, Walgreens remains committed to offering convenient access to vaccinations that are critical to helping protect our communities – from COVID-19 primary vaccines and booster shots to flu immunizations.”
