With a new COVID booster out and flu season just around the corner, staff at Safeway pharmacies are working hard to meet demand.
“We are busy,” said Amanda Wong, Director of Pharmacy at Safeway. “What we’re seeing is definitely a steady increase in the folks interested to receive the updated COVID shot.”
But while people are rolling up their sleeves for the latest COVID booster and flu shot, nationwide data from the CDC shows fewer pregnant people are getting the recommended immunizations.
