Milwaukee-based Roundyโs Inc. is offering walk up flu shots at its Pick โn Save, Copps, Metro Market and Marianoโs stores during all pharmacy hours, with no appointment necessary.
The companyโs pharmacists are all certified immunizers, and can provide the standard flu vaccine or Fluzone HD for those 65 and older in store. Cost per shot is $26.
The flu shots being administered at Roundyโs protect against three types of viruses, including H1N1, and some Quadrivalent vaccines will be available to protect against a fourth virus type.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends all those older than six months receive a flu vaccine each year to help protect against the flu, ideally before October. The antibodies take about two weeks to develop and offer protection.
โWeโre pleased that year after year more and more of our patients and customers take advantage of this advanced service that we offer,โ said George Kowalski, RP, vice president, Roundyโs Pharmacy. โWe will be encouraging as many people as possible to protect themselves and their loved ones this year by getting their flu shot.โ
