ATLANTA — Publix announced Monday that the state of Georgia has selected 139 of their pharmacies to receive another batch of the COVID-19 vaccine.
They said not all of the previously announced 108 pharmacies will receive additional vaccines at this time, but added that they may receive more in the future.
The shots Publix will distribute are the Moderna vaccine, they said.
“We’re grateful to continue working with the state of Georgia to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to our Georgia communities,” said Publix CEO Todd Jones. “As more doses become available, it’s our hope we can help more people in our communities receive this important vaccination.”
