BENTONVILLE, Ark. —
Walmart and Sam's Club have announced that flu shots will be available in more than 4,100 of the company’s stores nationwide for $24 beginning today.
Customers can visit www.walmart.com/flushots or www.samsclub.com to find specific dates, times and locations for the flu vaccination clinics.
The flu shots will offer protection against many flu viruses this season, including H1N1, the new strain H3N2 and B/Brisbane.
New guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend flu shots for everyone over the age of 6 months.
“This year, one shot offers protection against H1N1, as well as two other strains of flu. This will make it easier for our customers to get the preventive care they need, all in one visit,” said John Agwunobi, M.D., president of Walmart's health and wellness division. “We know that families are concerned about their finances, so we are bringing our customers a flu vaccine solution at a convenient and affordable price.”
