Why should I get this vaccine?

  • It’s important to protect yourself and stay up to date with vaccination as the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate. This formulation is designed to target the most recent variant.
  • Immunity can fade over time, and it leaves even vaccinated people vulnerable to infection. The best way to stay protected is to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Getting vaccinated may help reduce other complications, such as developing long COVID-19.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are COVID-19 vaccines safe?

    Vaccines have played an important role in protecting the health and safety of communities and nations throughout history. Hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered safely. As a critical resource for care in our communities, Walgreens will remain focused on providing safe and convenient access to COVID-19 vaccines.

  • What are the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines?

    According to the CDC and FDA, adverse reactions or side effects for most people are usually mild and resolve within a few days. The most common adverse reactions reported after vaccination in clinical studies included:

    • Pain at injection site
    • Fatigue
    • Headache
    • Muscle pain
    • Chills
    • Joint pain
    • Fever
    • Injection site swelling
    • Injection site redness

    Some people also experience:

    • Nausea/vomiting
    • Body aches
    • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Can I choose which COVID-19 vaccine I receive at Walgreens?

    When scheduling an appointment, you’ll be able to see which manufacturer is being offered for a specific appointment date. If the location you have selected is not offering your preferred manufacturer, you have the option to view additional locations and the manufacturer they are offering that day for your appointment. Vaccine availability varies by Walgreens location and not all may be available in all areas.

    The CDC has no preference for any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. If you happen to have a preference, when scheduling an appointment you’ll be able to select between Pfizer and Moderna for a specific appointment date. If you’d like to receive the Novavax vaccine, you may select “no preference” when scheduling your appointment and ask a pharmacy team member for that vaccine during your appointment.

    Vaccine availability varies by Walgreens locations and not all may be available in all areas.

  • How much does the COVID-19 vaccine cost?

    The CDC Bridge Access Program, which previously covered the cost of the COVID-19 vaccine for uninsured and underinsured people, has been terminated as of August 31st, 2024.

    Private insurers, along with the Medicare and Medicaid government programs, are still required to cover the costs of COVID-19 vaccines for their members.

    Walgreens remains committed to driving equitable and convenient access to life-saving vaccines. We will continue to work with patients eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to determine the best and most cost-efficient way to receive one.

  • Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as my flu shot or other immunizations?

    Yes. You can get COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as other routine or seasonal vaccines, such as the flu vaccine.

  • How can I access my digital COVID-19 vaccine record?

    You can access your digital COVID-19 vaccine record through the Digital Dose Card page on Walgreens.com and on the Walgreens app. You can save your Walgreens COVID-19 vaccine record to Apple Wallet and Apple Health on an iPhone with iOS 15.1 or higher, and you can save it to Google Wallet on an Android phone with Android 5 OS or higher. Adding your COVID-19 vaccine record to Google Wallet can only be done from the Walgreens app (version 51.5 or higher) and not from a mobile browser.
