Flu Shots Offered at Local Stop & Shop's

West Babylon and West Islip locations will be giving flu shots, some with customer discounts, this year.

For those who remember, getting a flu shot last season got a bit tricky when a local pharmacy ran short and left residents needing a flu shot scrambling to nearby towns.

This year residents in Lindenhurst have a new option for getting the shot. Local Stop & Shop stores are now offering flu vaccinations at all of their in-store pharmacies.  No appointment is needed and vaccinations are provided any time the pharmacy is open.  

The cost for the flu shot is $35 in New York and  most major insurance plans along with Medicare are accepted. Customers with a Stop & Shop prescription savings card will receive $10 off the regular price of a flu shot.

For more information or to find the Stop & Shop pharmacy nearest you, please visit www.stopandshop.com. If interested in signing up for a Stop & Shop prescription savings card, ask a pharmacist on your next visit.

Local Stop & Shops are located on Montauk Highway in West Babylon, Route 109 in West Babylon and Union Boulevard in West Islip.
