GOUVERNEUR, N.Y. – Kinney Drugs has received its first shipment of the COVID-19 (2024-2025 formula, KP.2) vaccine. The company is offering appointments for individuals aged three and older, including family appointments for up to three people. (Individuals aged six months to less than three years should seek an appointment with a pediatrician or general practitioner.) Walk-ins will also be available in all pharmacies beginning Friday. The updated COVID-19 vaccine can be co-administered with all other approved vaccines including this year’s flu shot.
“I am pleased that we have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine and have opened appointments,” said John Marraffa, president of Kinney Drugs. “Vaccination remains one of the best ways to protect yourself from COVID and the flu. Incidents of COVID-19 are already increasing throughout both New York and Vermont, so it is especially good timing with students heading back to school. In preparation, Kinney stores are also well-stocked with over-the-counter COVID tests. Kinney Drugs remains committed and determined to protect our communities against COVID-19.”
