PRESS RELEASE
Purchase, NY & Quincy, MA (December 19, 2014) —
Flu activity tends to peak in January or later and can sometimes last as long as May so it’s not too late to protect yourself by getting vaccinated.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends vaccination for all adults. Flu shots are still available at most Stop & Shop in-store pharmacy locations, including high-dose vaccine for seniors and the quadrivalent vaccine. No appointment or prescription is needed and vaccinations are provided any time the pharmacy is open by our trusted in-store pharmacists.
“Flu season typically peaks in January and February and many major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover the full cost of a flu shot. In addition to helping yourself by getting your annual flu shot, this year, you’ll also be helping a neighbor in need. For each flu shot Stop & Shop pharmacies administer by December 31, Unilever will donate three meals to Feeding America”, said Brian Pavur, Director of Pharmacy for Stop & Shop.
Stop & Shop is also keeping its pharmacies well stocked to handle flu-related prescriptions and over-the- counter medications. For more information about the seasonal flu, visit your local Stop & Shop pharmacist. To find the Stop & Shop pharmacy nearest you, please visit
