Flu Immunization Shots in Tucson, Arizona: CVS Pharmacies and Target Stores

NOM
Medical experts recommend getting the flu shot in October or November, but it is not too late to get it even in December. Your general practice doctor's office may likely give the flu shot, but if you do not wish to take a day off of work to schedule an appointment, there are some alternatives around Tucson, Arizona.

The cheapest and easiest option is if you work for a mid to large size employer, they may be having a flu shot service come to the office. Since having workers out sick with the flu is expensive to employers, this may be available to you for free. If not, several Tucson area convenient clinics exist.

CVS pharmacies have a service called minute clinic intended for the basic diagnosis and treatments for minor ailments and vaccinations - including the flu shot. You do not need an appointment but they do request that you wait around for about twenty minutes after your flu shot to check for any unexpected reactions or complications. These are the easiest to schedule since they are open every day and do not require an appointment. According to their website, two locations to get the flu shot in Tucson are:

CVS/pharmacy
3785 West Ina Road
Clinic Hours:
M - F, 8am - 8 pm, Sat & Sun, 10am-4pm (closed for lunch from 2:00 - 2:30pm, M-F)
Standard health insurance co-pays apply, and they take checks if you do not have health insurance.

CVS/pharmacy
3832 East Speedway Boulevard
