BENTONVILLE, Ark.

Walmart will offer low-cost flu shots and free health screenings

Walmart is helping customers save money and live better – and healthier – lives in 2020. The retailer is now inviting customers to Walmart Wellness Day, where they can get free health services and resources, including low-cost flu shots. According to the CDC, flu activity is high in the U.S. and is expected to continue for weeks – more than 170 million flu vaccines have been distributed this flu season, but that’s just over half of the U.S. population. The CDC recommends everyone six months and older get a flu shot. It’s not too late to get your flu shot from Walmart during this event Saturday, Jan. 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time at more than 4,600 Walmart stores with pharmacies across the country. To find the store nearest you, visit www.walmart.com/walmartwellness.

Giveaways and Wellness demos

Since its first Walmart Wellness event in 2014, Walmart has provided more than 4.4 million free screenings to people across the country.
