​

Receiving a flu shot in Stratford Medical Pharmacy is a simple process. We provide flu immunizations without any appointment necessary. This service is available during normal business hours throughout the flu season. 

 

Receiving a flu shot helps reduce the likelihood of being infected with many strains and types of influenza. Each season, flu vaccines are adjusted to include immunization for the most common strains. Because your body has built up immunity to specific strains of the flu, you are also less prone to other illnesses, or if you do get ill, your body normally recovers much faster compared to another person, who did not receive any flu vaccination.
