Walgreens and HHS partner to offer free flu shots in communities

“Walgreens and the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) have partnered to provide free flu shots to the underserved and uninsured.  Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota & Wyoming have been allocated 25,000 vouchers or free flu shots. Walgreens is working with groups throughout the market to develop a plan to best utilize these vouchers.

Two options: (1) setting up an onsite flu clinic or (2) providing vouchers to hand out in your communities.

Who is eligible: anyone aged 7 and up that does not have insurance or cannot afford a flu shot.

There is no cost to patients or organizations. Walgreens is donating the flu shots and payroll needed to staff the events. Walgreens holds full liability for providing the immunizations.
