Free Flu Vaccine at Walgreens
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with Walgreens has provided the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) with a limited number of vouchers for free seasonal influenza vaccines (flu shots) for Chicago residents.
Program Details:
- The vouchers are for Chicago residents who do not have insurance coverage for a flu shot and cannot afford to pay for a flu shot.
- The vouchers are valid in any Walgreens pharmacy located in the Chicago area through April 15, 2014.
- The voucher will cover Walgreens cost of the flu shot and Walgreen's administration of the flu shot. There are no cost or fees to the voucher recipient. The vouchers are only valid for seasonal flu shots and are not redeemable for other medication, products, food, store credit or cash.
- Children 10 - 18 years (with a parent/guardian) and adults can get a flu shot with these vouchers at a Walgreens pharmacy. Children 2 through 13 years of age (with a parent/guardian) can use these vouchers to get vaccinated at a Walgreens Take Care Clinic.
- Individuals may request a single voucher or multiple vouchers. Due to the limited supply, a maximum of 5 vouchers per request.
- CDPH will send the vouchers via US mail to the address provided below
Since the peak of influenza activity usually occurs in January and February, it is not too late to get vaccinated. If you are interested in receiving a voucher(s) for a free flu shot, please provide the following information by clicking here.
