Just in time for flu season…
Have you heard the good news? Now you can get your flu shot in your local pharmacy.
Your pharmacist can also renew most of your drug prescriptions (except narcotics) and even prescribe medications to help you quit smoking.
Still unsure whether to get the flu shot or not? Here is some information to help you decide:

One thought on “Just in time for flu season…”
When I visited some rural areas in one specific country, I was totally shocked that their areas don’t have pharmacist. They just sell medicines without the proper guidance of a registered pharmacist.
