A flu shot is your best protection from the flu. And, as a Publix associate, you can get it for free from a trained Publix pharmacist.
Now through Nov. 17, Publix is offering free flu shots to all of its associates. And, family members living in your household can receive a flu shot for $22, an $8 savings off the customer price.
The free flu shot program is voluntary and on your own time. If you work in a store and aren’t in your Publix uniform when you get your shot, print your most recent pay statement from PASSport and bring it along with your photo identification. If you work in support, bring your work badge.
If you were employed with Publix on July 15, you should soon receive a pre-printed vaccine consent form at your work location. If you’re a new associate or if you lose or don’t receive the pre-printed form, you can obtain a blank vaccine consent form from your Publix Communication Center or your Publix Pharmacy.
Some restrictions apply to minors.
- Anyone younger than age 18 must have their parent’s consent on the vaccine consent form before receiving a flu shot.
- In Florida, pharmacists cannot give flu shots to anyone younger than age 18. Minors can visit their primary care physician; however, a health insurance copay may be required.
- In Georgia, children ages 4 – 12 need a prescription from their physician to receive a flu shot. Pharmacists cannot give the flu shot to anyone younger than age 4.
- In Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee, children ages 12 – 17 need a prescription from their physician to receive a flu shot. Pharmacists cannot give the flu shot to anyone younger than age 12.
Our pharmacies offer free flu shots for associates on a walk-up basis. Some support locations offer associate flu shot clinics.
Why should I get a flu shot?
Strains of the seasonal flu virus change each year. A new vaccine is developed
annually to fight the most current strains. In addition, the antibodies you develop from the vaccine decline over time. Remember, anyone can catch the flu and experience serious complications, regardless of their age or medical history. Your best bet for lowering your risk of catching the flu is to get a free flu shot today.
