Several retailers to start offering 5-11 y/o’s COVID-19 vaccines beginning this weekend

Jacksonville FL — Now that the FDA and CDC have both given the green light for children as young as five years old to receive Pfizer’s low dose COVID-19 vaccine, several stores and pharmacies will start to offer the vaccine beginning this weekend.

Southeastern Grocers, the parent company for Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarkets says it will start offering the shots for children between the ages of five and 11 at select stores beginning this Saturday. We’re told making an appointment is preferred, but walk-ups ups are based on availability.
