Safeway incentivizes flu shots in its stores

PLEASANTON, Calif. — Safeway on Monday announced that both traditional and high-dose influenza vaccines are available nationwide. In addition, those who get a flu vaccine will receive a 10%-off coupon.

"We have always made the process of getting a flu vaccine affordable and convenient," stated Darren Singer, Safeway SVP pharmacy. "Now, we're giving an extra incentive to protect against a very common, very infectious illness," he said. "We especially want to protect those most at risk. For seniors, the Fluzone HD offers a better immune response and better protection against flu."

Select Safeway locations also have the new quadrivalent FluMist intranasal vaccine, which is suitable for healthy patients ages 5 years through 49 years.
