We offer a full line of vaccinations including the flu, pneumonia, shingles and whooping cough, given in the privacy of our Consultation room. These vaccines do not require a prescription from your doctor. Most vaccines are covered by insurance. An appointment is not necessary but we recommend you call ahead to ensure availability.
With the coming of the Fall and Winter months, it’s good to be prepared. At Island Prescription Center, we’re happy to announce that several of our pharmacists are certified to give flu shots! We are accepting all insurances that cover flu shots, and most will pay for the full cost (leaving a $0 copay for you!). Come and get your flu vaccination today – just be sure to call ahead and make sure that one of the certified pharmacists is working.
Remember, getting a flu shot is the best way to avoid getting the flu!
With the arrival of this beautiful weather comes the opportunity to make the most of it.

This article outlines the benefits of gardening – both physical and mental. So when you’re outside this summer, enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful weather, remember to beautify your yard – and get a little dirty!
