Winn-Dixie offers flu vaccinations
Written on September 2, 2010
Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. will offer flu vaccinations on a walk-in basis and through vaccine clinics at all of its nearly 400 in-store pharmacies locations, beginning Sept. 1.
Customers using their Winn-Dixie Customer Reward Card will receive a $5 discount off the $28 flu vaccine price, according to a Winn-Dixie release. Flu vaccines will be administered by certified pharmacists and no appointment is necessary.
Winn-Dixie’s pharmacies also are offering a new, high-dosage flu vaccine for those 65 and older for $43 with the Customer Reward Card this year. Both the regular and high-dose flu vaccines provide protection against the H1N1 virus free business cards.
Robin Miller, Winn-Dixie’s director of communications, said the in-store vaccinations will save customers and their health insurers more than $2 million.
Winn-Dixie also is providing an off-site clinic service for local businesses to increase vaccination rates this year.
Jacksonville-based Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. (Nasdaq: WINN) operates 514 retail grocery locations, including 379 in-store pharmacies, in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi.
