Price Chopper, the supermarket chain, is offering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at select locations. Those eligible can register to receive the vaccine by booking an appointment at the company’s website. Residents are currently able to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment at select Price Chopper pharmacies in Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania. Customers can also book appointments at select locations of Market 32, which shares the same parent company. However, the Price Chopper website advises, at the time of publication: “COVID-19 vaccine shipments have been delayed and scheduling of new first dose appointments is currently on hold. Once additional information becomes available as to when additional vaccine will arrive, scheduling of new appointments will resume. “Price Chopper/Market 32 Pharmacies have not yet received the vaccine” at its locations in New Hampshire and Vermont. But vaccinations are taking place at community sites in both states as well as in Connecticut, the companies advise. Eligibility criteria for COVID-19 vaccinations vary by state. See the Price Chopper website for more information. Pharmacy staff and customer services cannot book COVID-19 vaccination appointments for residents. To book an appointment, click on the relevant state at the COVID-19 vaccination hub page of the Price Chopper website. This opens a new page where users should click the “schedule appointment” icon to see available time slots. All customers will need to set up a login at the Price Chopper website and create a username and password to book an appointment. “Every individual MUST be registered for their own account, in their own name,” the website notes. Customers are advised to check the Price Chopper website daily to see the latest time slots available. “Appointments are limited. If there are no open spots in your local pharmacy, check back soon for more,” the company notes.
