The White House said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/10\/25\/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-announce-additional-efforts-to-help-americans-get-their-free-updated-covid-19-vaccine-this-fall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> that President Joe Biden has called upon pharmacies to \u201cdouble down\u201d on efforts to increase vaccination rates, prompting the organizations to send \u201ctens of millions of texts, calls, and emails to customers, multimedia marketing campaigns,\u201d while federal pharmacy partners are extending hours and accepting walk-in appointments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver 20 million Americans, including nearly one in five seniors, have already rolled up their sleeves to get their updated COVID-19 vaccine, and the President will encourage more Americans to do so right away,\u201d the White House said. \u201cThe President will get his updated COVID-19 vaccine, and call on everyone \u2014 including state, local, education, and business leaders \u2014 to do their part to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Albertsons, a grocery store chain with most locations in the western part of the nation, will discount groceries by 10% for people who receive the vaccine in-store, with total benefits capped at $20. CVS Health is likewise offering $5 off any regular purchase of $20, while Rite Aid will offer coupons for $5 off a purchase of $25 or more. Southeastern Grocers will provide $20 vouchers when individuals receive their COVID vaccine and booster at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are working with employers, schools, nursing homes and other community organizations to meet people where they are and advance vaccine equity,\u201d the White House added. \u201cThese steps will ensure Americans can get the protection they need heading into the winter at trusted, convenient locations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the companies offering discounts, Walgreens is spending millions to \u201cencourage vaccinations across Black and Hispanic communities,\u201d while Walmart and Sam\u2019s Club will play a reminder over store loudspeakers three to four times each hour in the hopes that shoppers will opt to receive their vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>The offer of grocery vouchers from the pharmaceutical chains occurs as inflation reaches four-decade highs. Price levels between September 2021 and September 2022 rose 8.2%, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/cpi.nr0.htm\">data<\/a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with prices for food increasing 11.2% over the same period. The cost of food at home, a category that includes grocery store or supermarket food purchases, rose 0.7% from the previous month. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/bank-of-america-study-finds-84-of-employers-now-say-offering-financial-wellness-tools-helps-increase-employee-retention-301634130.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Bank of America, roughly 71% of Americans \u201cfeel the cost of living is outpacing growth in their salary or wages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-announced-a-plan-to-end-hunger-food-inflation-is-still-in-the-double-digits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> a plan to \u201cend hunger\u201d centered upon increased spending on government nutrition programs. Among other programs, the White House will increase access to free school meals by expanding the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) program and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility, pilot medically tailored meals via Medicaid, and increase Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries\u2019 access to nutrition and obesity counseling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo many families don\u2019t know where they\u2019re going to get their next meal,\u201d Biden said in a video message. \u201cThere are too many empty chairs around the kitchen table because a loved one was taken by heart disease, diabetes, or other diet-oriented diseases, which are some of the leading causes of death in our country. And the toll of these diseases is not distributed equally \u2014 it\u2019s higher in certain racial and ethnic groups.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House amplified multiple grocery stores and pharmacy chains\u2019 offers to provide $20 vouchers for Americans who get another dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
