Walgreens will provide vaccinations for UnitedHealthcare and Kaiser members. The vaccinations available this year include:
- Flu shots ― trivalent, protecting from three different flu strains.
- Pneumonia.
- Tdap ― tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough).
To get the pneumonia vaccine, employees must meet one of three criteria: be 65 or older, have a medical condition that warrants the vaccination or be a smoker. The Tdap shot is a once-in-a-lifetime vaccination, with a TD booster every 10 years. If you plan to get either of those vaccinations, let the pharmacists know your health and vaccination history.
To receive a vaccine at no cost, present your UnitedHealthcare or Kaiser ID card. Without a card, the flu vaccine will cost $25. Dependents over 7 years old and spouses also may get vaccinated.
If you need written proof of your vaccination, please inform the pharmacist at the time of vaccination.
If you are unable to attend the on-site clinic:
- Kaiser members can get a flu vaccine at no cost at Kaiser facilities.
- UnitedHealthcare members can get a flu vaccine at no cost through any Walgreens pharmacy.
