Flu Shots Now Available at All Walgreens and Duane Reade Pharmacies

DEERFIELD, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walgreens and the United Nations Foundation are proud to kick off the
fifth year of the Get a Shot. Give a Shot. campaign. Thanks to the
support of Walgreens customers, the campaign has helped to provide more
than 20 million polio and measles vaccines to people in developing
countries.

Now through August 31, 2018, for every vaccination administered at
Walgreens pharmacies, Healthcare Clinics, or Duane Reade pharmacies,
Walgreens will donate the value of a lifesaving vaccine through the UN
Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign.

“We are thrilled to be heading into our fifth year of partnership with
Walgreens and the Get a Shot. Give a Shot program,” said Kathy Calvin,
president and CEO of the United Nations Foundation. “Families everywhere
deserve the opportunity to keep their children safe from preventable
diseases like measles and polio, and thanks to this program, Walgreens
customers can help support the Shot@Life campaign and ensure every child
has a shot at a healthy life.”

Shot@Life is a movement to protect children worldwide by providing
lifesaving vaccines where they are most needed through the UN and other
partners. The Shot@Life campaign collaborates with many organizations
and corporations to broaden American support for childhood immunizations
in developing countries against diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea,
measles and polio.

Summer is almost over. Kids are back in school. And that means flu
season is not far behind. It’s never too early to be thinking about flu
prevention, starting with an annual flu shot, which is now available at
all Walgreens and Duane Reade pharmacies, as well as Walgreens
Healthcare Clinic locations.

Flu shots are available during all pharmacy and clinic hours while an
immunizing health professional is on duty, including evenings,
overnights at 24-hour pharmacy locations, weekends and holidays¹,
and no appointment is necessary. The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recommends an annual flu shot for everyone over six months of
age.

“Each flu season is unpredictable, which is why a flu shot is the most
important preventive measure to take to protect yourself and those
around you throughout the flu season,” said Richard Ashworth, Walgreens
president of pharmacy and retail operations.

The flu vaccine is covered under Medicare Part B as well as all health
insurance plans, although provider networks may vary. Age restrictions
vary by state at Walgreens pharmacies, while Healthcare Clinics can
provide vaccinations for patients age 2 and older.
