We have all shots available pneumonia, shingles, high dose flu shot, etc. We do give a $5 coupon for Target for the flu shot. No appointment needed so I hope to see you soon. We also do flu clinics as well so if your interested please call 352-205-8943. Thank you for your time.
Thanks. It seems as though pharmacists don't agree with the CDC advice that older people should not get the flu shot until at least September. If they did, they wouldn't even stock the high dose vaccine this early. Is that correct?
