Beginning October 06, Grubb’s Southeast Pharmacy and Mini Mart is providing cost-free COVID-19 vaccines for adults 18 years and older without insurance or whose insurance requires a copay.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older receive an updated COVID-19 vaccine. CDC is dedicated to protecting access to no-cost COVID-19 vaccines for all. The updated COVID-19 vaccines are covered by insurance. Uninsured children have their vaccines covered by Vaccines for Children (VFC). There are also 25-30 million adults, however, without health insurance, and additional adults whose insurance will not cover COVID-19 vaccination without a copay. CDC’s Bridge Access Program is partnering with select pharmacies to offer no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to adults who are uninsured or underinsured.

Grubb’s Southeast Pharmacy and Mini-Mart is partnering with eTrueNorth, a United States-based healthcare services company, to offer this program in the community. eTrueNorth partners with pharmacies nationwide to make basic health and wellness services more accessible. Grubb’s
