As the coronavirus pandemic continues, many people are wondering if they should get a flu shot this year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone six months of age and older get a flu vaccine by the end of October.
While getting a flu vaccine may not be at the top of your list of things to do during the pandemic, it is important to remember that the flu can be a serious illness, particularly for people with underlying health conditions. And, while there is no guarantee that you will not get the flu if you are vaccinated, the CDC says that getting a flu vaccine can reduce your risk of getting sick with the flu by up to 60%.
If you’re wondering where to get a flu vaccine this year, you may be pleased to know that many pharmacies and grocery stores are offering them. For example, CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens are all offering walk-in flu shots at all of their locations. And, if you have a Costco membership, you can get a flu shot at any of their pharmacies.
If you’re looking for an even easier way to get a flu shot, Publix is offering a $10 gift card when you get your flu vaccine at one of their pharmacies. The gift card can be used for anything in the store, including groceries, so it’s a great way to save on your next shopping trip.
