Immunizations

Flu shots and vaccines, usually without an appointment.

Walk in during pharmacy hours and a pharmacist can administer your vaccine, check your insurance coverage first, and update your immunization record — typically in less time than it takes to park at a big-box store.

Vaccines we can help with

Availability changes through the year, and some vaccines carry age or eligibility requirements set by the state. The list below covers what community pharmacies typically provide — call us at 215-244-4244 and we'll confirm exactly what we have in stock and whether you're eligible.

  • Seasonal influenza (flu). Recommended annually for nearly everyone six months and older. Best taken in early autumn, before the season gets going.
  • COVID-19. Current formulations, subject to availability and eligibility guidance.
  • Shingles (herpes zoster). Generally recommended for adults 50 and over. Given as a two-dose series.
  • Pneumococcal. Recommended for older adults and for younger adults with certain risk factors.
  • Tdap / Td. Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis — including boosters and vaccination during pregnancy.
  • RSV. Available for eligible older adults, subject to current guidance.

Bring your insurance card. Most plans cover recommended vaccines at no cost to you, and Medicare Part D covers many of them. We check your coverage before administering anything — you'll know what you're paying, if anything, before we start.

Why a pharmacy rather than a doctor's office

For routine vaccines, a pharmacy is usually faster and easier. There's no appointment to book weeks out, no waiting room, and we're open six days a week including Saturday mornings. You can also combine it with picking up a prescription and be done in one stop.

That said, if you have a complicated medical history, a history of reactions to vaccines, or a question that really belongs with your physician, we'll tell you so rather than proceeding. Some situations are better handled in a clinical setting.

Common questions about vaccines

Do I need an appointment for a vaccine?

In most cases no — walk in during pharmacy hours and we will get you taken care of. If you would rather not wait, call ahead at 215-244-4244 and we can have everything ready when you arrive.

Which vaccines do you offer?

Community pharmacies commonly provide seasonal flu, COVID-19, shingles, pneumococcal, Tdap and RSV vaccines. Availability changes through the year and some vaccines have eligibility requirements. Call us at 215-244-4244 and we will confirm what we have in stock for you.

Will my insurance cover it?

Most insurance plans cover recommended vaccines at no cost to you, and Medicare Part D covers many of them. Bring your insurance card and we will check your coverage before administering anything, so there are no surprises.

How old do you have to be?

Pennsylvania sets minimum ages for pharmacist-administered vaccines, and they differ by vaccine. Call us with the age of the person being vaccinated and we will tell you whether we can help or whether it needs to be done at a doctor's office.

How long does it take?

The vaccination itself takes a couple of minutes. Plan on a short wait beforehand while we check your record and coverage, and a brief observation period afterward.

Can I get more than one vaccine at the same visit?

Often yes — receiving more than one vaccine in a single visit is common and generally considered safe. Our pharmacist will review your situation and let you know what is appropriate for you.

What should I bring?

Your insurance card, a photo ID, and your vaccination record if you have one. If you are unsure which vaccines you have already had, we can often look it up in the state immunization registry.
