Raleigh Shopper

Raleigh, NC, Kerr Drug will be vaccinated for buyers of holiday passed to the Streets of Southpoint Mall in Durham, Friday, Saturday and Sunday near the entrance inside the mall Sears. Vaccination against influenza will be given to anyone 18 years or older who wants to protect themselves against the virus.

"It's not too late to get a vaccine against influenza, flu season peak is usually in January and February, which is why we organize this event now," said Gretchen Jenkins, PharmD and Clinical Coordinator for Kerr drugs. "While the flu season was mild in this area to date, there have been outbreaks in the western part of the state and that we reserve the remainder of the flu season remains to be seen."

Vaccination against influenza in profits Southpoint will be charged $ 25 and those who would submit Medicare Part B can be vaccinated against the flu toll free (excluding health insurance plans Advantange). The vaccine against influenza will be given on a first come, first served, and Kerr Drug pharmacists certified as qualified to manage the vaccination shots.

"Holiday Shopping and travel environments afford great opportunity for the flu virus from spreading," says Jenkins. "We recognize that malls are access points for great holidays and we hope that those who would otherwise not be vaccinated against influenza enjoy this convenience."
