It’s time to arm yourself against the flu
Flu season is back … again … and you can get a free flu shot from your Publix Pharmacy! The best time to get vaccinated is now, so be sure to take advantage of this benefit. Remember, you don’t have to be enrolled in Publix’s health insurance to be eligible. And while you’re at it, bring your family with you. Any family member living in your household can receive a flu shot for the reduced price of $34. All Publix Pharmacies offer flu shots on a walk-up basis for your convenience.
Oh, and as long as you’re there, why not go ahead and get your free health screenings, too? These are available to you for free once a year — at any time during the year — but flu season is as good of a time as any to check up on your health. It only takes about 10 minutes to learn your key wellness numbers, including your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, blood pressure and body mass index. And you’ll be given your confidential results to share with your doctor.
Don’t delay; visit your Publix Pharmacy today!
