Walgreens pharmacists are specially trained experts at administering a variety of immunizations, including flu shots – a key preventive step especially important for people living with diabetes. No matter how well you manage your condition, diabetes can increase your risk for a severe case of the flu and serious complications. A flu shot is the best way to prevent the flu and its potential complications. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a flu shot for everyone with diabetes age 6 months or older.

From September 1 through October 31, 2013, peak flu shot months, Walgreens will donate $1 to Breakthrough T1D per flu shot given when a customer presents the Breakthrough T1D flyer.
