Flu Shots Available at Giant Food Stores

To help prepare you and your family for the upcoming flu season, flu vaccinations are now available at all Giant Food Stores in-store pharmacies. No appointment is needed and vaccinations are provided any time the pharmacy is open.

All Giant stores are also taking steps to ensure its pharmacies and health departments are well stocked to handle flu-related prescriptions and over-the-counter medications throughout the fall and winter seasons.

“The flu vaccine is reformulated every year so even if you received a flu shot last year, you’ll need to have another one this year,” said Leigh Shirley, director of pharmacy.

The cost for the standard flu shot is $35 and most major insurance plans along with Medicare are accepted. Other flu vaccinations are available upon request, including the quad and high dose vaccines. Customers with a Giant’s prescription savings card will receive $10 off of their flu shot. Giant’s pharmacists are also available to provide on-site flu clinics at workplaces and businesses throughout the community.

In addition to helping yourself by getting your annual flu shot, this year, it will also help a neighbor in need. For each flu shot Giant pharmacies administer this year, Unilever will donate three meals to Feeding America. $1 helps provide nine meals secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local member food banks. Between August 29 and December 31, 2014, $0.333 will be donated for every flu shot purchased.
