Albertsons Market set to host pop-up flu shot clinic for Clovis community
CLOVIS, N.M. — On Tuesday, October 3, the pharmacy team at the Albertsons Market in Clovis will set up a pop-up flu shot clinic in the parking lot of the store (1905 N Prince) from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Guests will be able to access these important seasonal immunizations from the convenience of their vehicles. Pharmacists will only require a guest’s insurance card at the time of the clinic. Typically, the seasonal flu shot is free through most insurance providers but has an out-of-pocket cost for those without insurance.
Along with the CDC, Albertsons Market pharmacists recommend a seasonal flu vaccine for people of all ages. The flu shot, RSV vaccine, and COVID-19 seasonal vaccine can all be safely co-administered in one visit.
“From the flu vaccine to the new RSV vaccine to the latest COVID-19 seasonal vaccine, our team is prepared to make sure the Clovis community is ready for the fall and winter,” said Tim Purser, director of pharmacy for The United Family. “With the prediction of another early flu and respiratory illness season, it remains imperative for guests to seek out their flu shots as well as other immunizations as early as possible.”
In addition to the flu shot, anyone 12 years or older qualifies to receive the seasonal COVID-19 vaccine as long as it has been two months since your last dose of an older version of the vaccine. For children under 12 years old, the recommendations can be a little different, but Albertsons Market pharmacists can provide information to inform guests so they can make the right choices for their families.
In addition to the flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines, guests will have access to a variety of other immunizations. Guests can consult pharmacists at the clinic about other available options.
