Giant Food Flexible Rewards members will receive bonus points this cold and flu season just for getting their vaccine at any of the retailer's in-store pharmacies as a way to encourage uptake amongst shoppers. The campaign will see shoppers rewarded with 500 Flexible Rewards points for up to eight members of a household for getting their flu and COVID-19 vaccines. The pointed received can be used by shoppers to redeem on their groceries, gas and more.
Director of Pharmacy Operations Paul Zvaleny spoke on the campaign for Giant Food Flexible Rewards members saying, "We are committed to increasing the access to quality health care and improving the health of our community. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to protect themselves and their loved ones, as well as contribute to a healthier and safer community for all.”
