What to bring with you

Common vaccines to ask about
Patients often ask about seasonal flu shots, COVID vaccines, pneumonia vaccines, shingles vaccines, and other age- or health-related immunizations. The right vaccine timing can depend on your age, health history, prior vaccines, and provider guidance.
What if you do not have insurance?
If you do not have insurance, call the pharmacy to ask about current cash-pay options. The team can help you understand what may be available before you make the trip.
When to talk with your doctor
If you have questions about whether a vaccine is appropriate for your specific medical situation, talk with your healthcare provider. The pharmacy can help you identify questions to ask and can coordinate with your provider when appropriate.
