H1N1 flu shots are now available at Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacies in Washington.
The public can receive the H1N1 vaccine at Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacy stores for $15, which might be covered by many insurance plans.
Specially-trained and certified Albertsons/Sav-on pharmacists may be available to administer H1N1 flu shots to walk-in customers without appointments in some locations. However, for added convenience customers are encouraged to visit or call the pharmacy in advance and schedule an appointment. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
“We’re giving our customers the opportunity to reserve their H1N1 vaccine and receive the immunization at a time that’s most convenient for their schedule,” says Mike Clawson, Albertsons Intermountain West Division president. “We want to make it easier for even our busiest customers to get immunized and help prevent the spread of H1N1 virus in their community.”
Due to a recent increase in vaccine supplies, anyone interested in protecting themselves against the H1N1 flu can now be immunized. Individuals who are at highest risk of becoming seriously ill from the H1N1 virus but have not been immunized are still encouraged to get the H1N1 shot. These include:
• Pregnant women
• People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age
• Health care and emergency services personnel with direct patient contact
• Individuals six months through 24years old and adults who have chronic medical conditions
Albertsons/Sav-on pharmacists can administer the H1N1 vaccine to individuals 12 years of age and older.
Customers can schedule an appointment or get more information by calling the nearest Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacy. To find addresses and telephone numbers, visit the “Flu Shot Appointment Finder” link at: www.Albertsonssavonpharmacies.com.
