Han Su on November 16, 2017

There’s always something new happening at your favorite local pharmacy. Here is a summary of what is going on this month and what’s to come.

It’s Not Too Late to Get Your Flu Shot

Have you gotten your flu shot? If not there is still time! Everyone who is six months or older should get the flu vaccine every season.

Influenza or the flu is a very serious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. Every flu season is unique and the flu affects everyone differently. Even a person who is very healthy can get sick from the flu or a flu-related illness and spread it to others.

Flu vaccinations last an entire year. We have regular and also high dose flu shots for patients 65 and over still available.

Stop by 501 Pharmacy Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., or on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., to get your flu shot with no appointment needed. Flu shots are just $35 for cash-paying patients and are free if you have Medicare B, TRICARE, or Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.

Where’s Han and the 501 Pharmacy Team in September?

Han Su on September 13, 2017

We love getting to spend time with you outside of the pharmacy and one of our favorite things to do is hang out with you at community events! Here are a few of the events that we will be participating in this month. Mark the date on your calendar and make sure you stop by our table and say hello, get a flu shot, cheer us on, and pick up some swag!

Fourth Annual Dragon Boat Festival – September 23, 2017

Join us at the Triangle’s Fourth Annual Dragon Boat Festival at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheater on Saturday, September 23, 2017.

Flu Shots on Site

We will be providing FREE flu shots to anyone with Medicare B, TRICARE, or Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. Don’t have one of those? No problem! Flu shots are just $30.

We know getting the flu shot is no fun. Go ahead and get it out of the way so you do not have to worry about it as the weather gets colder. Plus, skip out on having to make a special trip to get yours done later in the year. Getting the flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, it also helps the community. When you get the flu shot you are helping keep seniors and kids safe.
