Publix joins H1N1 efforts during National Influenza Vaccination Week

LAKELAND, Fla. To coincide with National Influenza Vaccination Week, Publix Pharmacies announced Wednesday an inoculation offer of the H1N1 vaccine for $10. The special pricing for the vaccine will remain in effect until the vaccine supply is depleted. Customers do not need an appointment for the vaccination, but are encouraged to call their local Publix Pharmacy to ensure an immunizing pharmacist is on duty and vaccine supply still is available.

In addition, every customer who receives an H1N1 vaccine from a Publix Pharmacy will also receive a coupon good for a $10 Publix gift card with a new or transferred prescription.

"While influenza is unpredictable, we know that if more people are vaccinated, the disease is less likely to spread in the upcoming months," stated Maria Brous, Publix media and community relations director. "Our Publix Pharmacists are committed to the total health and wellness of our customers and their families."
