Walgreens announces Tdap vaccination voucher program in collaboration with Alaska health department

DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens on Wednesday announced a tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) vaccination voucher program, in collaboration with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, to help protect against pertussis (whooping cough). 

 

Vouchers are available to Alaskans ages 10 years and older, can be redeemed at any of Walgreens' six Anchorage area locations and are being offered as reported cases of whooping cough in Alaska are higher than in past years.

 

“We’re proud to partner with the Department of Health and Social Services on this important initiative to help protect more people, and an important segment of our population, from whooping cough,” said Justin Coyle, Alaska market pharmacy director for Walgreens. 

 

Walgreens pharmacists in Alaska can administer immunizations to anyone age 10 years and older.
