Bartell Drugs now taking reservations for workplace flu clinics

SEATTLE -- Although summer just started, Bartell Drugs is already thinking about flu season with a push for workplace flu clinic programs.

The retailer announced it is already accepting reservations for on-site flu clinics for workplaces. These clinics send qualified health care providers directly to a workplace to provide flu vaccinations for employee pools of 25 or more. The first clinic begins on Sept. 1.

The flu is usually contracted in locations where people are in close contact. For many, this often means the workplace. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) predicts a late but heavy flu season this year.
