Giant Stores Offer Flu Vaccinations
Here is the Giants Food Store Flu shot locations.....
Please check the costs and all the information stated.
This has the Giants from Berwick to Scranton, dates and times.

It looks like the Careworks that is in the Pharmacy area of your MrZ's / Weis has the flu shots for $25
Most likely if you have your Medicare card with you, you don't pay that cost......( but please check with them beforehand)

I know not a soul wants to post about FLU shots. Nor I, who has been hiding from them every year they roll around...........
But, after having pneumonia for two months last year, I learned a hard lesson.
I have already gotten the pneumonia shot, and next is the flu shot.
I had a "walking pneumonia" ........out and about I was, taking pictures for CD. The Myrtle Beach sand sculptures of the Presidental candidates, the new Hard Rock Theme Park, going in the stores.
Yikes. I had a double pneumonia, no cough, no fever, not even lacking energy.
If it wasn't for a little wheeze I just might not have known.
So thats why I am posting for my friends here on CD. You just never know, and its better to be safe then sorry......Take the time to do that for yourself this year.
I will be having my "first" flu shot, but rather then "run" as usual..........I'm going to be first in line.
