Viral praises for our vaccine team!

The last few months have been super busy for our pharmacy teams and the customer service associates supporting them. Through it all, they’ve provided the premier service Publix is known for, and our customers took to their keyboards to share their gratitude. Here are just a few of the many notes of praise we’ve received since January.*


 “My parents were vaccinated today at the Publix Barclay location in Spring Hill, and they had a great experience with the staff. I can’t say enough good things about Publix — so happy you’re going the extra mile to make everyone feel safe and cared for. Thank you again!”


 “Yesterday I received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at one of your locations in Ocala, Florida. Your employees did an outstanding job carrying out the program. Thank you.”


 “I want to give a huge thank-you to Publix! Not only was I able to get my 85-year-old mom vaccinated yesterday, but my 94-year-old mother-in-law too. Publix was extremely organized, and both of them were vaccinated right on time in Merritt Island, Florida. The staff was so professional and so caring. I think Publix is doing a wonderful job, and I just wanted to say my heartfelt thank-you! 💕🙏😇”


 “I want to say what a fantastic job your store at Flat Shoals Crossing did with the COVID-19 vaccine. So organized. Perfect!”


 “So grateful! Thank you Stoneybrook @Publix for my 1st dose #COVID19Vaccine last night, artfully delivered by Pharmacist Marina Badzinski. Glad to have #Publix as a reliable store.”


 “My husband and I had our 1st and 2nd COVID-19 vaccinations at Publix #1255. The staff was very helpful and efficient. We appreciate their care and professionalism.”

 “I would like to commend Pharmacist Trang Nguyn at #1348, South Pasadena. Trang gave my husband and me our COVID-19 vaccine together. She was very kind and answered all our questions. She was calm and reassuring on a very busy day, which put us both at ease.”


 “Just got my first Moderna vaccination against #COVID19 at Publix in Bonita Springs, Florida. Publix has implemented such a wonderful, stress-free process.”

I hope you give a big thank-you to the management and staff at the Citrus Hills Publix from all of us in the area.”
