🛡️Stay Shielded this Flu Season! 🛡️

Did you know that a simple flu shot can be your best defense against the flu? As the chilly months roll in, let's make sure our families and communities are protected. Getting vaccinated not only guards you but also those around you—especially our seniors and loved ones with health conditions. It's like wearing a cozy armor against the flu!

Picture this: every year, millions of people fight off the flu thanks to timely vaccinations. I remember my friend Sarah sharing how she once skipped her shot and ended up bedridden during the holidays—never again, she vowed! Now, she makes it a yearly ritual to get vaccinated with her family. 🏥

Don't wait for the sniffles to start. Head to Gilchrist Pharmacy and roll up your sleeve for that flu shot. It's quick, easy, and widely available at various locations!

It’s the perfect time to get your flu shot!
Getting vaccinated in October helps your body build protection before flu activity starts to increase — and that protection lasts through the entire season.

According to the CDC, studies show flu vaccination reduces the risk of illness by 40–60% during seasons when the vaccine is well-matched to circulating viruses.

Stay ahead of flu season with your neighbors at Gilchrist Pharmacy. Stop by either Hartselle location or call to schedule your shot today! 💪💉
