COVID NYC Update: Costco to offer COVID vaccines in New York

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) – Costco will soon offer COVID-19 vaccines in five states and Puerto Rico.

New York City is included among the new locations.

The retailer said he would take photos “as soon as they were available.”

But being a Costco member does not guarantee that you will be able to sign up for the shoot.

Costco said it has only a limited number available and will follow the eligibility lines in each state.

“Costco is firmly committed to helping protect the health and safety of our members and employees and to serving our communities,” the company wrote in its announcement.

Stores in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are ready to receive the vaccine once available.

Costco asked customers not to contact the local pharmacy to make appointments. Instead, customers should visit their website.

The company said it expects to primarily administer Moderna vaccines.
