Staying Healthy All Season Long
According to a recent
CVS/pharmacy survey, nearly two-fifths (37%) of Americans have
missed a life event because they were feeling ill with flu-like
symptoms. During the holidays it is important that shoppers protect
themselves from the spread of germs and viruses when traveling or
visiting loved ones. While picking up holiday goodies, customers
can conveniently get a flu shot with no appointment necessary,
including evenings and weekends. Customers can also grab
necessities such as alcohol-based hand sanitizers, facial tissues,
and vitamins to keep healthy and strong all season long. In case
sniffles and symptoms do appear, over-the-counter remedies for
cough, cold and flu are available every day, with select medicine
cabinet musts included in the Black Friday sales event.
With extended hours at select locations and many 24-hour stores,
shoppers are able to visit their local CVS/pharmacy when it's most
convenient for them. For specific store locations, visit
CVS.com/stores.
