Flu shots are here!

Protect yourself and those around you by staying one step ahead of the flu. Walk-in flu shots are available at all 18 of our pharmacy locations – no appointment necessary. Most insurance plans cover the flu vaccine at no cost to you.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. Ask us about getting other recommended vaccines during your visit—like COVID-19, pneumonia, or RSV. Our pharmacists are here to help you stay up to date and fully protected.

We offer the following vaccines:

 

Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine Update:

With reported cases of measles in Wisconsin, the best protection is the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. It’s recommended that adults receive 2 doses of the MMR vaccine in their lifetime.

  • If you are unsure of your vaccination status or if you only had one dose, you should talk with your doctor or one of our pharmacists about getting vaccinated. 
  • If you’re traveling to an area where measles occurs more frequently, you should get vaccinated. 

Children ages 1-12 may get the MMRV vaccine instead, which protects against chickenpox too. Some people should not get the MMR vaccine or should wait. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn more.
