WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – Hy-Vee announced Wednesday that COVID-19 vaccines are now available at all of its 270 pharmacies.
This week, Hy-Vee began vaccinating in their eighth state, Wisconsin, through the federal retail pharmacy program.
Prior to the Wisconsin expansion, Hy-Vee was already a partner in the federal retail pharmacy program in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, receiving vaccine supplies directly from the CDC. Hy-Vee is also vaccinating in Illinois using state-allocated vaccines.
Free COVID vaccinations are only available by appointment. Patients should visit www.hy-vee.com/covidvaccine to register for an appointment once they are eligible according to their state’s guidelines. Using the online scheduler, patients can also schedule their second dose appointment (if any) when they schedule their first dose appointment, with no account needed.
Hy-Vee also offers free COVID-19 laboratory tests (molecular PCR), rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, and rapid antibody tests to look for previous COVID-19 infection. To schedule a testing appointment, patients can visit www.hy-vee.com/covidtesting.
Hy-Vee is currently seeking more than 1,000 pharmacy technicians to assist with COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccine administration as more doses become available. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply at www.hy-vee.com/careers. Technicians who assist with rapid COVID-19 antigen testing are eligible to receive a bonus.
