The United Family Helps Guests Prepare for Fall with Free Flu Immunizations and Grocery Savings

 

Guests can receive seasonal immunizations, earn up to $20 off their next grocery purchase, and take advantage of walk-in or scheduled appointments

 

LUBBOCK, Texas — Pharmacies across The United Family are helping guests prepare for the back-to-school season and the busy months ahead by making flu immunizations convenient, accessible, and rewarding. Guests can receive a free flu immunization at any of the company's pharmacy locations, including United Supermarkets, Albertsons Market, Market Street, and Amigos.*

 

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.†The offer is available to every eligible individual who receives a qualifying vaccine, creating additional savings opportunities for households that choose to get vaccinated together.

 

“Caring for our communities means helping our guests stay healthy and prepared,” said Tim Purser, director of pharmacy for The United Family. “Our pharmacy teams make it easy and convenient for families to receive flu vaccinations and other recommended immunizations as they head into the fall season.”

 

Getting vaccinated is simple and flexible. Guests can schedule an appointment online, through their local store website or app, or visit their neighborhood pharmacy without an appointment, as walk-ins are welcome. Many locations offer evening and weekend hours to help accommodate busy schedules.

 

United Family pharmacists are trusted healthcare professionals who can answer questions, review vaccination recommendations, and help guests make informed decisions about their healthcare needs. Pharmacists can also review vaccination history and discuss additional immunizations that may be appropriate for eligible individuals and family members. Guests also receive free access to a digital vaccine record.

 

In addition to flu immunizations, United Family pharmacies offer a variety of immunization services, including vaccines for pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), shingles, hepatitis B, tetanus and HPV, subject to eligibility and availability.

 

To welcome new pharmacy guests, The United Family offers grocery savings incentives.‡ Eligible guests who fill or transfer a prescription to a United Family pharmacy for the first time can earn savings on groceries while taking advantage of convenient pharmacy services, including prescription management tools and DriveUp & Go™ prescription pickup at participating locations.§ Together, these offerings make it easier for guests to access trusted pharmacy care and everyday savings in one place.

 

Guests can also shop for seasonal wellness essentials while visiting their local store. From tissues and cough and cold remedies to pain relievers and other health products, United Family stores are a convenient one-stop destination to help families prepare for the fall and winter seasons.
