Flu shot now available across Wegmans

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The influenza vaccine for the 2016-2017 flu season is now available at all Wegmans Food Markets locations, the supermarket chain announced Thursday.



“By offering the flu vaccination in our pharmacies, we’re making it easy for our customers to protect themselves from the seasonal flu, while also improving immunization rates in the communities we serve,” stated Katie Niles, Wegmans pharmacist and pharmacy clinical wellness services manager.

 

Wegmans pharmacists, certified through the American Pharmacists Association’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery program, started administering flu shots in 2010, and since then the number of customers visiting the pharmacy for an immunization has grown between 30% and 40% each year. Last flu season, Wegmans administered more than 75,000 flu vaccinations.
