Big Y Pharmacy and Wellness Centers continue to set records at their third communitywide event at all Big Y supermarket locations throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut through a combination of their pharmacy locations and on-site clinics for all customers, employees and their families with a variety of vaccines. Big Y Pharmacy teams administered over 19,000 vaccines between flu and Covid-19 vaccines during the 2023 Big Y Big Vax week.
Overall, Big Y Pharmacies have administered more than 26,000 flu shots this year. Health officials continue to make another urgent push to encourage the public to get vaccinated. Experts say it’s not too late to get vaccinated. Each Big Y Pharmacy location still offers flu vaccines, no appointment is necessary.
According to Dave Argento, senior manager of pharmacy operations, “As we continue to expand our community vaccination program, we are grateful to our pharmacy staff and store teams for their efforts especially during Big Y Vax Week. Their dedication to protecting our friends and neighbors through our immunization program has made a tremendous impact in the area we serve.”
