[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL - do you work for CVS?[/quote]

The pharmacists who have to do these shots would definitely NOT be advertising them. It's their least fav activity.[/quote]

CVS customer service will and did give me the information. Why don't you go online and get CVS customer service and ask them if flu shots are available?  Pharmacists do not give flu-shots, it is a nurse who does it in the minute clinic.

You can roll your eyes all you want, but you're wrong.  Pharmacists can and DO give flu shots.  My DH gets his shot yearly from the pharmacist at Harris Teeter - where there are NO nurses, and no minute clinic.  I have also gotten flu shots from the pharmacists at Giant and at CVS.

And, yes, pharmacists don't consider it at the top of their list of priorities to give flu shots.  There's been a huge push by these companies to do them, so they are forced to go along.  Just like in most of health care, most health care professionals don't have much say on how they are allowed to practice.  (but, that's a whole other can of worms)[/quote]
