WOONSOCKET, R.I., Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As the number
of cases of the flu continues to rise in Washington, CVS Pharmacy is encouraging
residents to get their flu shots. The standard vaccine and/or
high-dose vaccine are available at CVS Pharmacy locations across
the state, including the 30 pharmacies located in Target stores,
while supplies last.
Governor Jay Inslee and First
Lady Trudi Inslee visited the CVS
Pharmacy in Target in Olympia on
Friday morning to receive their flu vaccines and urged people who
haven't received a flu shot to do so. According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seasonal flu activity
typically peaks in January and February, so it is not too late to
get a flu vaccine. In addition, if you haven't yet been vaccinated
and have already gotten sick with a flu virus this season, a flu
vaccine can still protect you from other strains of the flu,
further stressing the importance of getting vaccinated.
Flu shots are available seven days a week, including evenings
and weekends at locations in Washington with no appointment needed. For
added convenience, CVS Pharmacy customers can schedule their flu
shot in advance using the Immunization Scheduler at CVS.com.
Flu shots are available at the following CVS Pharmacy
