"Flu season begins in November and can last until May. The Center for Disease Control says the single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each Fall and Kmart wants to encourage our customers to protect themselves by offering over 900 pharmacist-based and 400 nurse-based clinics in pharmacy and non-pharmacy locations throughout the country," said Mark Doerr, RPh, vice president of Kmart Pharmacy.
Flu shots from the pharmacy are available for $25 and pneumonia shots are $50 while supplies last. Customers can call 1-800-822-8345 to find the date and time of a flu clinic at their closest Kmart pharmacy location.
