Walmart stores to offer free flu shots, health screenings across California

No-cost immunizations and free health screenings will be offered at Walmart pharmacies across California on Saturday, the chain said.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All Walmart locations that have pharmacies will be participating.

Participants can receive no-cost vaccinations for flu, RSV, shingles, tetanus, HPV and other illnesses. The store said co-pays are waived for most insurance plans.

Free health screenings including blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and BMI also will be offered, along with complimentary vision screenings at select stores.

Wellness boxes with nutritious snacks, vitamins, supplements and other essentials will be available, and pharmacists will be available to offer guidance on nutrition and medication.

The chain has lowered prices on more than 1,000 wellness-related products.

Walmart’s wellness events have provided more than 5 million free health screenings across the United States since 2014, the store said.
