Flu Shots Available at Edgewater Pharmacies

The Edgewater Giant and other pharmacies are already gearing up for flu season by offering vaccinations for $30 per person.

It may still look and feel like summer, but Giant Food is already offering flu shots at its in-store pharmacy in Edgewater.

“Flu shots are reformulated every year, so it’s important people are vaccinated on an annual basis," said Gayle Shields, director of pharmacy operations for Giant Food in a press release. “Giant is proud to offer seasonal flu shots at all 159 of our in-store pharmacies in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Washington, DC.” 

Appointments aren't necessary and the shots cost $30 per person, according to a press release. Giant Food accepts most major insurance plans along with Medicare.
