LUBBOCK, Texas — As respiratory virus season approaches, now is a great time to help protect
yourself and your family. Updated COVID-19 vaccines are now available at United Family
pharmacies, along with flu, pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other recommended
immunizations for eligible guests.
"Staying current on recommended vaccinations is one of the easiest and most effective ways people
can help protect themselves, their families and their communities,” said Tim Purser, director of
pharmacy for The United Family. “Our pharmacy teams are trusted healthcare resources, making it
convenient for guests to receive flu, COVID-19 and other important immunizations close to home,
while providing the guidance and support they need to make informed decisions about their
health."
The latest mRNA COVID-19 vaccines align with FDA guidance and are designed to target currently
circulating strains. Because protection can decline over time, staying up to date with the latest
vaccine can help provide protection.
Protect Your Health and Save
Guests who receive a qualifying vaccination at their local United Family pharmacy will receive a
coupon for up to $20 off their next grocery purchase.* For families getting vaccinated together, the
savings can add up.
Guests can easily schedule an appointment online, through their local store app or website, or visit
their pharmacy without an appointment, as walk-ins are welcome. Many locations offer evening
and weekend hours.
More Ways to Manage Your Health
New 4-in-1 at-home test kits for RSV, Flu A, Flu B and COVID-19 are available in store and online,
making it easier to monitor your health throughout the season.
Guests who receive a COVID-19 immunization through an Albertsons Cos. pharmacy can also access
a digital vaccine record. Simply text RECORD to 1-844-590-0015 to receive a link to your
vaccination record.
Schedule your vaccination today or visit one of the company's pharmacy locations, including United
Supermarkets, Albertsons Market, Market Street, and Amigos.
