when is the best time of day in a pharmacy to get a flu shot
There's one factor that may make your flu shot more effective, according to a study published in Vaccine earlier this year: getting it in the morning. In the study, 276 adults aged 65 and older got their flu shots between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. (Older people are more susceptible to the flu, making them an ideal group to study. Another group at high risk: the chronically stressed.)
Flu shots are available seven days a week, including evenings and weekends at locations in Washington with no appointment needed. For added convenience, CVS Pharmacy customers can schedule their flu shot in advance using the Immunization Scheduler at CVS.com. Flu shots are available at the following CVS Pharmacy locations: 107 BELLEVUE WAY, SE, BELLEVUE, WA. 117 SW 160TH STREET, BURIEN, WA. 11918 AIRPORT RD., EVERETT, WA. 19507 HIGHWAY 99, LYNNWOOD, WA. 18820 STATE HWY 305 NE, POULSBO, WA. 10712 SE CARR ROAD, RENTON, WA. 531 QUEEN ANNE AVENUE, NORTH SEATTLE, WA.
