Walgreens Rolls Out Nationwide Flu Shot Appointments Ahead of Peak Flu Spike

July 30, 2025 at 08:00 AM EDT

This year, walk-ins are welcome in addition to easy scheduling options online or through the Walgreens app

Walgreens is now offering flu shots for anyone three years and older at stores nationwide. Individuals and families can walk into their nearest Walgreens pharmacy or schedule an appointment by visiting Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine, through the Walgreens app or by calling 1-800-WALGREENS.

Starting August 1, myWalgreens members will receive 20% off their next eligible purchase with any vaccine received—making it even more rewarding to stay healthy.*

Community pharmacies continue to serve as a trusted destination for vaccinations and other preventive healthcare services. Pharmacies accounted for the administration of almost 38 million flu vaccine doses throughout the 2024-2025 season—nearly double the 22 million doses delivered in medical offices.¹That’s why Walgreens is investing more in the experience with simplified scheduling, seamless walk-in options and whole-family appointments to make it easier than ever to get your shot and continue your day.

Walgreens is making it easy to stay healthy this year, offering convenient and timely options for vaccination, testing and treatment – all in one place.

Personalized guidance from trusted experts: Our pharmacists are here to help you and your family navigate vaccine options with confidence, offering expert support to ensure you get the protection you need, when you need it.

Coadministration made easy with scheduling enhancements: Families can schedule multiple vaccines during the same visit, booking for up to four people at one time. Walgreens also offers the option to schedule multiple vaccines in the same visit, making it easy to stay up to date on all recommended vaccines.

Digital check-In: With Walgreens’ new digital check-in feature, individuals can scan a QR code in the pharmacy area to check in for appointments and continue shopping or browsing the store until they're ready to be seen.

Every year, common respiratory viruses like flu and pneumonia cause hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. Preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the 2024-2025 flu season was one of the most severe for people of all ages, a first since 2017-2018.²

The CDC recommends that everyone six months and older gets an annual flu vaccine, ideally by late October, to ensure optimal protection throughout the season.³

“Vaccines are the best way to help prevent and reduce the severity of potentially deadly viruses like flu,” said Rick Gates, chief pharmacy officer, Walgreens. “At Walgreens, we’re committed to making it easy and convenient for people to get the protection they need. It is important that everyone is up to date on their recommended vaccines heading into the fall and winter, when viruses like flu are more likely to surge.”

How to prepare for a visit:

Walk in or schedule ahead at Walgreens.com/ScheduleVaccine, through the Walgreens app or by calling 1-800-WALGREENS.
Use the digital scheduler to select a convenient time, receive reminders and reduce wait time.
Complete vaccination consent paperwork digitally before your appointment to automatically send it to the pharmacy.
Wear loose-fitting clothing and bring your insurance information, if available.
Use the digital check-in feature at the pharmacy to skip the line and confirm your arrival.

As always, Walgreens’ expert pharmacists are available to help address questions, navigate the latest vaccination guidance and provide recommendations based on personal medical history.
