Seasonal flu shots available at area pharmacies

Thursday, September 24, 2009

Although Saline County Health Department is running low on seasonal flu shots, there are other locations where area residents can get vaccinated.

Red Cross Pharmacy on the Marshall square is administering flu shots from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary to get a vaccine, though there is some minimal paperwork involved.

At its other location at 941 S. Cherokee, Suite 1, Red Cross Pharmacy will give flu shots from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Red Cross also plans to hold flu shot clinics, though dates for those events have not yet been set.

The pharmacy at Marshall's Walmart will administer flu shots on Oct. 7 and 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in Marshall, City Pharmacy in Slater and Sweet Springs Pharmacy are not carrying the vaccine this year.

Flu shots cost $25, except for patients with Medicare Part D, who pay nothing.

Your article makes it sound like the pharmacies are the only place where you can get a flu shot. Missouri Valley Physicians had a flu shot clinic last Saturday and they have the vaccine available for their patients.
