TRICARE Vaccination Program ALERT
Seasonal Flu, Pneumonia, and H1N1
Island Drug can now offer these vaccines to TRICARE Beneficiaries at
a $0 Copay, effective
immediately!!! This is a brand new offering and we
are excited to be able to extend our vaccination services to TRICARE
Beneficiaries as a covered pharmacy expense with no out of pocket
cost. Below is some recent information on our current vaccine
offerings, all three (seasonal flu, H1N1, and pneumonia) are
currently available and can be given on the same visit which can be
any time our stores are open!
Both
Island Drug
stores have just received a new shipment of the
SEASONAL Flu Vaccine!
Just in the door is our 3rd shipment of the regular seasonal influenza
vaccine! This vaccine is open to all just like the H1N1 (see
below). The CDC recommends vaccinating thru January
and beyond. Further, peak influenza season does not
typically hit our area until around February, so there is still
plenty of time to get protection against seasonal flu.
As always, Island Drug is your most
convenient vaccination destination; vaccines administered EVERY hour
we are open, NO Appointment necessary.
To make the process
quicker for you in the store, if
you would like to have the
