Protect Your Family This Flu Season! @MinuteClinic @CVS_Extra #Sponsored

As many of you already know, I am a six-year Leukemia Survivor. As a result, my immune system is not as strong as that of a healthy person so I have to be very careful about getting sick, especially during cold and flu season. Additionally, both of my boys and I are also asthmatics which makes us perfect candidates to receive the flu shot every year in order to protect ourselves.

This year, our doctor advised my husband that he, too should get the flu shot to make sure he does not bring the flu into the house and put the rest of us at risk. We were very excited to find out that we can conveniently get a flu shot at the Minute Clinic at our local CVS pharmacy. As a matter of fact, it couldn’t be easier to protect your family this flu season. All you have to do is head into your nearest Minute Clinic location and have one of their nurse practitioners administer flu shots to your entire family.

Since my husband and I both work full-time, I was very pleased to find out that all of us could visit the Minute Clinic to get our flu shots because they are open seven days per week and even on evenings and weekends. They accept most insurance plans and you don’t even need an appointment. Since the rest of us had already received our flu shots this year, we decided to accompany my husband on a Friday evening to get his flu shot for this winter.

We were really surprised at how easy and convenient the whole process was. My husband immediately registered all of his information at the Minute Clinic kiosk and we were called into one of the examination rooms shortly thereafter. The whole process took a little over a half-hour. As you can see from the photos, Hubby was all smiles as he was getting his shot and the nurse practitioner was extremely thorough. Everything was sterile and clean and she was very professional. Thank you to Brenda St. Louis FNP at the Minute Clinic in the CVS Pharmacy in Larchmont, NY for doing a great job!

Many people don’t realize how debilitating the flu virus can be once it is contracted. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year because of the flu and this is simply a risk that I cannot take with my family. Make sure you visit your local Minute Clinic at CVS Pharmacy and protect yourself and your entire family!*

Here are some of the things you can do to protect your family from the flu:
