We are gathering our information from common public sources to determine its safety and effectiveness. It is also a good idea to consult with your health care provider regarding your personal care. Here are some resources that we find helpful: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety.html
Yes, we would recommend persons identified as a candidate consider getting the vaccine, weighing the benefits vs the risks. To find more information about effectiveness and possible risks go here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html. When it becomes available to the public, it is important for each person to work with their health care provider to weigh the benefits vs the risks and make an informed decision. Please see some information below on those who should NOT get the vaccine.
CDC considers a history of the following to be reason NOT to get vaccinated with either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines:
- Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components
- Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])*
- Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)*
Each vaccine works a little different. Some vaccines require two doses and another only requires one dose. Full effectiveness from the vaccine will be 2 weeks after receiving a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna, or 2 weeks after one dose of the Johnson & Johnson. A more in-depth overview of how the vaccines work can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/
Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars will be given to the American people at no cost. However, vaccine providers will be able to charge administration fees for giving or administering the shot to someone. Vaccine providers can get this fee reimbursed by the patient’s public or private insurance company or, for uninsured patients, by the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Provider Relief Fund.
Yes. Early evidence suggests that the vaccine provides more superior protection than the immunity obtained from a previous infection. Follow this link to learn more about this fact and more: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/vaccine-benefits.html

We appreciate your understanding and support. We also recommend using our online grocery delivery and pickup services at TrigsToGo.com.
PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
When are you receiving more product?
We are working with our suppliers to replenish product as quickly as possible. We have no reason to expect long-term shortages for the vast majority of our products, but we may experience sporadic product shortages.
What is Trig's doing to ensure product availability?
We may periodically need to implement temporary purchase limits on high-demand products. Look for signage in-store or indications of limited quantities while shopping on TrigsToGo.com for specific quantity restrictions.
Will Trig's be offering rain checks?
Because we can’t predict the supply of products or what inventory levels may be, we will not be offering rain checks until further notice.
