Walgreens is offering flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination appointments nationwide. Individuals ages 3 years and older can receive a flu shot, and eligible individuals ages 60 years and older can receive an RSV vaccine. Patients can visit the pharmacy or schedule an appointment through the Walgreens app, by visiting Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine or by calling 1-800-WALGREENS.
“All of us need to do our part to stay healthy and neighborhood pharmacies are the most accessible destinations for the quick, routine and preventative care that patients have come to expect post-pandemic,” said Rick Gates, Walgreens chief pharmacy officer.
Walgreens has additional services:
Vaccinations: Walgreens continues to offer COVID-19 vaccines and will provide the new CDC-recommended COVID-19 vaccine once available. Walgreens pharmacists can provide additional guidance on which vaccines are right for each individual and optimal timing, including scheduling multiple respiratory and routine immunizations during the same visit
Testing: Walgreens will have options for testing, including a rapid antigen test that can detect COVID-19 and Flu A/B in one visit
Treatment: Walgreens pharmacists will be able to prescribe COVID-19 treatments nationwide and flu treatments in select locations
