CVS announces $5 million in vouchers for free flu vaccinations.
The AP (9/9) reports, "CVS Caremark Corp. said Wednesday it will give away up to $5 million in seasonal flu vaccinations to people without health insurance." They "will be available at clinics or community health centers starting Sept. 20. Consumers will be able to redeem the vouchers at any of CVS' 7,100 locations and its retail MinuteClinics." The AP adds, "CVS said it is working with Direct Relief USA, a nonprofit organization, to give out the shots." Normally, the vaccine would cost $29.95 at CVS and will be supplied by Novartis AG and Sanofi-Aventis. Meanwhile, "Walgreen also plans to give away vouchers for up to $1 million in free flu shots this year."
