Kmart Offers Flu Shots at Its Walk-In Clinics for Start of Flu Season
Hoffman Estates, IL (Profitable.com) With flu season underway, Kmart provides vaccines against seasonal flu in its walk-flu for convenience of customers, the price of the value of $ 24.99, while supplies last. Vaccines are now available at one of over 900 pharmacies Kmart the country, on a walk-in basis for most locations. In addition, members of Kmart Pharmacy Prescription Savings Club will pay only $ 20 for the vaccine against influenza. Kmart Pharmacy also offers flu shots to high dose (suitable for people aged 65 and over). Many prescription insurance programs cover flu shots, including Medicare Part B and D.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) flu activity usually peaks in January or February, but the flu itself is unpredictable(1). Flu vaccines change yearly to protect against the three viruses that research suggests will be most common during flu season; additionally, the CDC reports that everyone needs an annual vaccination for optimal protection since a person’s immune protection from vaccination declines over time.
“Kmart Pharmacy is aligned with the CDC’s position on preventive care, and we are well positioned to deliver the services that promote the health and wellness of patients in the communities we serve,” said Ghassan Hourani, vice president and general merchandise manager of Kmart Pharmacy. “At Kmart Pharmacy, our pharmacists will take the time to discuss with our patients the importance of being vaccinated as well as practicing good health habits.”
While everyone can benefit from a flu shot, it is especially important for those at higher risk for developing complications from the flu—young children, pregnant women and older adults. In 2012, Kmart Pharmacy will have available at each location nationwide an immunizing pharmacist who is certified by the American Pharmacists Association and authorized by the applicable State Board of Pharmacy to administer vaccines to customers age three and older where permitted by law.
