Flu Shots Now Available at Stop & Shop

This article was written by Judy Motti.

For those who remember, getting a flu shot last season got a bit tricky when a local pharmacy ran short and left residents needing a flu shot scrambling to nearby towns.

This year residents in Riverhead have a new option for getting the shot. Local Stop & Shop stores are now offering flu vaccinations at all of their in-store pharmacies.  No appointment is needed and vaccinations are provided any time the pharmacy is open.  

The cost for the flu shot is $35 in New York 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.

For more information or to find the Stop & Shop pharmacy nearest you, please visit www.stopandshop.com. If interested in signing up for a Stop & Shop prescription savings card, ask a pharmacist on your next visit.

Stop & Shop is located at 1615 Old Country Road in  Riverhead. For more information, call 631-727-6751.
