Getting over an illness can take days.
Getting a shot to help prevent it
takes just minutes.
Save time by getting a shot at the pharmacy
You decide where to go and when
Did you know you can get a pharmacist administered
vaccine shot at a participating pharmacy in our
Pharmacy Immunization Program? It’s quick and easy.
Most pharmacies are open longer hours than your
doctor’s office. And you don’t need a prescription or
an appointment. Just show up at the pharmacy. After
all, you may already be going to your pharmacy to pick
up a prescription.
Just go to a pharmacy that’s part of the program and
offers shots. You can find one close to home or work.
Check the included list, or call a pharmacy to make
sure it’s in the program.
Get protected with a vaccine before you
get sick
Vaccines like a flu shot help your body fight disease
if you’re exposed to viruses. If you haven’t had a vaccine
before, talk to your doctor first to see if you should
get one.
Pharmacies in our Pharmacy Immunization Program
may give you vaccines for these illnesses:
}}
Flu – Protects against different strains of the flu.
Don’t worry, the flu shot can’t give you the flu. It helps
your body fight the flu if you’re exposed to the virus.1
}}
Pneumonia – Prevents pneumococcal disease
caused by bacteria. These bacteria can cause
serious health problems such as pneumonia, blood
infections and meningitis. And the bacteria can
spread from one person to another by close contact.2
}}
Shingles – Helps prevent shingles. This is a painful
skin rash, often with blisters. It’s caused by the
varicella zoster virus, which causes chickenpox and
can appear years later as shingles.3

You don’t need to make an appointment or fit the visit
into your doctor’s schedule. Just pick a time that
works for you. Many of them are open after hours and
on weekends.
No prescription needed from your doctor
Just show your member ID card at the pharmacy.
You have the same coverage for when you get a shot at
your doctor’s office.
Have a question or want to learn more
