The Kroger Co. announced that they, together with The Salvation Army and Feeding America will supply free flu shots to thousands of eligible people.
People who want a voucher for the free flu shot should go to The Salvation Army or a Feeding America food bank location near their homes. Uninsured or under-insured people near a Kroger pharmacy can participate in this campaign.
Every year over 200, 000 individuals are hospitalized due to the flu; and about 36, 000 individuals die from the flu or its complications.
Maura Daly, Senior Vice President for the Feeding America food bank network said “Hunger is a public health issue at the end of the day, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Kroger on this effort.”
