Regular Flu Shots Available at 501 Pharmacy

Han Su on September 12, 2019

It’s that time of year again, time to get your flu shot and we recommend making it a family affair! At 501 Pharmacy we are able to administer flu shots to patients 14 and up. We currently have plenty of vaccines available. Flu shots are just $34.99 for cash-paying patients but are generally free with most insurances. No appointments needed! Stop by 501 Pharmacy Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., or on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., to get your flu shot.

High Dose Flu Shots Coming Soon

High dose flu shots are not in yet but should be here by the end of September. They reformulated the vaccine which has delayed us getting it at 501 Pharmacy. High dose flu shots are usually 100% covered by insurance. If you are not sure if you need a high dose flu shot or the regular flu shot, talk to someone on our team and they can help.

Why Should You Get the Flu Shot?

Influenza or the flu is a very serious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. Every flu season is unique and the flu affects everyone differently. Even a person who is very healthy can get sick from the flu or a flu-related illness and spread it to others.

Getting the flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, it also helps the community. When you get the flu shot, you are helping to keep higher-risk seniors and young children, who may not be able to get the vaccine, safe.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot?

Everyone who is six months or older should get the flu vaccine every season. These flu shots are also approved for use in pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.

The only people who should not get a flu shot are those that are younger than six months of age or who have life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient that is in the vaccine. If you have an allergy to eggs or any of the ingredients in the vaccine, you should talk to your doctor about your allergy before getting the flu shot. If you are not feeling well, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms before you get the flu shot or wait until you are feeling better.

 

Business Owners, Schedule Flu Shots for Your Employees

Han Su on May 3, 2019

It is never to early to start thinking about next flu season. Keep your employees healthy by scheduling a time for Han to come to your local business to administer flu shots to your employees!

Why Should You and Your Employees Get the Flu Shot?

Influenza or the flu is a very serious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. Every flu season is unique and the flu affects everyone differently. Even a person who is very healthy can get sick from the flu or a flu-related illness and spread it to others.

Getting the flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, it also helps the community. When you get the flu shot, you are helping to keep higher-risk seniors and young children, who may not be able to get the vaccine, safe.

Why Offer Flu Shots for Your Employees?

Show your employees that you care about their health by offering them the flu shot at work. Employees who might not think about getting a flu shot may be more apt to do so if it is free and on site. This requires them to do very little and you will have a better chance of keeping your employees at work during flu season. The more employees that have the flu shot, the better your chances are at keeping the flu out of your building.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot?

Everyone who is six months or older should get the flu vaccine every season. These flu shots are also approved for use in pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.

The only people who should not get a flu shot are those that are younger than six months of age or who have life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient that is in the vaccine. If you have an allergy to eggs or any of the ingredients in the vaccine, you should talk to your doctor about your allergy before getting the flu shot. If you are not feeling well, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms before you get the flu shot or wait until you are feeling better.

When Should You Schedule Flu Shots for Your Employees?

You should offer the flu vaccine before the flu begins spreading in your community. Flu season in North Carolina begins in October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the antibodies to develop in the body that protects against the flu.
