Giant Eagle Adding More Heinz Field Vaccination Clinics

PITTSBURGH (WPXI) — After an “overwhelmingly positive response” to an initial Covid-19 vaccine clinic at Heinz Field this week, officials are opening up more appointment slots for next week. Appointments for March 8-9 will be made available online on Friday, March 5. Additional appointments may be added as more vaccines are received. Appointments can be scheduled at the “Vaccine Clinics” option via the Giant Eagle online scheduling tool. Giant Eagle Pharmacy expects to receive a shipment of vaccine in the coming days that would enable appointments for March 10 to be made available online over the weekend, and eligible patients are encouraged to routinely check availability online. More than 4,000 people managed to secure online appointments via Giant Eagle for vaccinations this week. The clinic is a partnership between Giant Eagle and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
