Hy-Vee pharmacies are set to give flu vaccines in store and corporate locations
The flu vaccine for the upcoming flu season is available at more than 250 Hy-Vee Pharmacy locations throughout its eight-state region without an appointment or prescription as allowed per state law during regular pharmacy hours, the company announced Friday.
In addition, Hy-Vee Healthy You mobiles can be reserved for flu vaccine clinics at a company. Clinics are typically held September through November.
Hy-Vee pharmacists conduct a screening process to ensure that they are administering the vaccine type most beneficial for each individual.
People at high risk of serious flu complications include young children, pregnant women, those with chronic health conditions, and individuals ages 65 years old and older.
Medicare and most insurance plans cover the flu vaccine and other immunizations at no charge.
Each person who receives a flu vaccine at a Hy-Vee Pharmacy also will receive a 20 cents per gallon Fuel Saver discount, which can be redeemed at any Hy-Vee Gas location.
