Every year different places offer an incentive for getting the flu shot.
- Kroger:
- Get $5 off when you get a flu vaccine at the pharmacy or clinic.
- Get $20 off when you get a flu vaccine and any other vaccine in the same visit at the pharmacy or clinic.
- Safeway 10% off, up to $20 off
- CVS offers a $5 off $20 coupon for no cost flu shot (insurance).Â
- Giant eagle: $5 gift card (insurance)
- RiteAid: None currently
- Walgreens: None currently
Will add more as they become available. You’ll probably want to wait until later in the year for maximum effectiveness.
Kroger offer $5 off $20 and $20 off what?
I think all the obsessive flu shot warriors and the anti any vaccine warriors clashing are always funny, especially since almost none of them use any kind of actual real data behind their arguments. For those who think all vaccines ever are poison, they should get their head on straight. Now, there are valid arguments about what we used to consider a “vaccine” and requisite effectiveness at preventing illness. For example, the polio vaccine is estimated 99% effective at preventing polio with a full round of doses. Those USED to be the standards by which the average person and science called a “vaccine” and “effective vaccine.” Somehow in recent years, we have migrated to a mobile definition of vaccine and what is actually effective, and often do not even use prevention of illness as a metric. This has naturally caused many who already distrust much of the medical establishment and it’s modern profit motive to distrust even more, sometimes justifiably and sometimes not. Preventing polio for example, is a lifesaver beyond words and only modern idiots who never lived through polio as a real threat consider that vaccine poison or evil or not worth it…it is what happens with all things that are life altering threats and move into the past. However, the other side is equally as stupid and ill informed. For the people who can’t get enough shots into their arm for things like influenza, they on average have no clue as to the efficacy of the crap they inject themselves with in order to avoid a largely non fatal illness. The CDC itself publishes the actual estimated flu vaccine effectiveness by year…so those who worship the government health authorities should inform themselves as to what those agencies themselves have to say. For easy reference, since 2009, the CDC has estimated a low effectiveness rate of 10% (2004) and a HIGH of 60% (2011..and the ONLY time in 20 years the “effectiveness” was estimated at 60% and only the FOURTH time in 20 years it was over 50%). For those who are actually curious and not interested in regurgitating either Rachel Maddow and the Daily Beast or Sean Hannity and the Daily Caller….https://www.cdc.gov/flu-vaccines-work/php/effectiveness-studies/index.html. The AVERAGE effectiveness according to the CDC over the last 20 years (not counting 2021 as they did not measure it that year) is just a hair over 39%. Now, people who say, hey, I don’t want to inject any manner of biological agent into my body for something as mundane as flu, especially with an effectiveness of 39% on average, are not necessarily crazy, depending on their logic and motivation. Tons of people avoid things like Tylenol unless they REALLY need it because they prefer not to take any manner of drug or chemical for low risk or mundane threats and that certainly is not crazy or illogical. The fanatical behavior on almost everything these days, especially with almost no logical basis is hilarious. People are so siloed they always think they possess all… Read more »
uhh I think you’re on the wrong website bud
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
i ain’t reading all that. im happy for you tho, or sorry that happened
You definitely need a TLDR line.
No amount of money would cause me to do this.
No one asked
Maybe public health would be better if they learned to ask.
Churnable?

How many flu shots do you need?
My doc said, one if booster (you did flu shot last year), can do 2 if skipped more than one year
These offers are weak sauce.
also, inb4 all the armchair immunologists gather here to give their unsolicited advice on vaccines and immune health
RFK Jr does not approve this message
Will, could you please nip this troll in the bud for clearly trying to politicize a basic health benefit for election-year upvotes? I’m sure he won’t be the only one. Thanks.
I wasn’t aware RFK Jr was a frequent poster on DOC. Profile link?
Not all of us subscribe to your religion and its transmission-not-preventing, infection-non-preventing definition of “health benefit”.
