LAKELAND, Fla., Aug. 2, 2022 — Flu shots are now available at all Publix pharmacies. Trained Publix Pharmacy associates will administer the vaccine to patients.
“Each year, Publix Pharmacy offers the flu vaccine to our patients to help protect themselves throughout the flu season,” said Publix Vice President of Pharmacy Dain Rusk. “With the health of our communities as a top priority, we are proud to offer immunizations as part of our pharmacy services.”
