Giant Food and Giant Eagle stores are among the many chains giving COVID-19 vaccinations to the general public. However, you must match your state’s eligibility requirements before you can get a vaccine, and you have to register online. Walk-ins are not available. Here’s a look at where Giant Food is distributing vaccines and how to get them. The information varies depending on if you are looking for Giant Food (Landover), discussed in the first section below, or Giant Food Company, discussed in the second section below. For information on Giant Eagle availability, see the third section of this story.
Here’s How You Can Get Vaccines at Giant-Landover
According to its webpage, Giant Food (Landover)(also called Giant-Landover) is offering vaccinations in Washington, D.C., along with three states: Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. The information in this first section is for the supermarket chain technically called Giant Food of Maryland, LLC, which operates 169 stores and 159 pharmacies and is headquartered in Landover. Its parent company is Ahold Delhaize USA.
Giant-Landover notes on its webpage that vaccines are extremely limited at the current time, noting: “Giant Food is working with an extremely limited vaccine supply from local, state, and federal health authorities. Public demand is far greater than vaccine supply at this time and we give as many vaccinations as we can every day with our available resources. This is an unprecedented and rapidly changing situation and we are working to secure more doses…”
Giant-Landover recommends making sure you are eligible before signing up for a vaccination.

Here’s How You Can Get Vaccines at Giant Food Stores
The Giant Food Stores, a sister company to Giant-Landover, does have an online portal currently working. This chain operates stores in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. It’s owned by The Giant Company, which operates Giant and Martin’s stores. It’s also a subsidiary of Ahold Delhaize USA, like the sister company.
The Giant Company has a different COVID scheduler here, referenced at a separate COVID-19 vaccination webpage here. This vaccine scheduler is working at the time of publication. To schedule a vaccine on this webpage, which is for COVID-19 vaccines only, you’ll first need to enter your ZIP code to see if there is availability near your region.
