Why do you recommend getting vaccinated for COVID-19 and other adult vaccinations that we offer?

Immunizations are one of the most important ways that we keep ourselves and our communities strong and healthy. Vaccinations make our immune systems strong by building up antibodies to help prevent diseases. Although some individuals may be at risk of greater and more severe complications from COVID-19, we have seen that even younger and healthy individuals are still at risk of severe illness and even death from this virus.

Whether you have questions about your prescription medications, over-the-counter products, immunizations, or other health concerns, our pharmacists are here to help.
