Stay Flu-Free with a Flu Shot at Stop & Shop

In preparation for the upcoming flu season, The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company LLC has begun offering flu vaccinations at all of their in-store pharmacies.  No appointment is needed and vaccinations are provided any time the pharmacy is open by Stop & Shop’s trusted in-store pharmacists.

"Our pharmacists provide our customers with a robust health and wellness experience, make an effort to acknowledge and counsel them on all new therapy and therapy changes and communicate the value we provide”, said Anthony Ponzio, Director of Pharmacy at Stop & Shop New York Metro Division.

The cost for the flu shot is $35 in New York and Connecticut and most major insurance plans along with Medicare are accepted. Customers with a Stop & Shop prescription savings card will receive $10 off the regular price of a flu shot.  Stop & Shop has also partnered with various vendors to offer a free coupon book worth more than $40 in savings to promote better living, while supplies last, to all customers who receive a flu shot. In addition, Stop & Shop pharmacists are available to provide on-site flu clinics at workplaces and businesses throughout the community. For more information or to schedule an on-site flu clinic for your office, please call Andy Markievich at 877-439-1313.

As a full-service pharmacy, all Stop & Shop stores are taking steps to ensure its pharmacies and health departments are well stocked to handle flu-related prescriptions and over-the-counter medications throughout the fall and winter seasons. Additionally, Stop & Shop pharmacists offer several “no appointment needed” adult vaccinations including those for pneumonia and shingles. Customers should feel free to stop in to speak with their friendly Stop & Shop pharmacist anytime with questions regarding medications, vaccinations or general health related questions.
