International Business: Walmart, Walgreens US stores roll out Moderna, J&J Covid-19 booster shots – Gulf Digital News

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc and Walmart Inc said on Friday their US pharmacies started administering Covid-19 booster shots from Moderna Inc and Johnson & Johnson, in addition to previously authorized Pfizer-BioNTech booster.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday recommended J&J and Moderna's booster shots and said Americans can choose a different shot from their original inoculation as a booster.

CVS Health Corp also said booster shots of Moderna's vaccine were available at select stores, but not J&J's. In August, the company stopped offering J&J shots at its pharmacies.
