Kmart says flu shots available in Hawaii for $12 each
Advertiser Staff
Kmart is offering flu shots for $12 each at its Hawai'i stores with pharmacies as long as supply is available."We are lowering prices to encourage more people to do what they can to protect themselves," said Mark Doerr, vice president of Kmart Pharmacy, in a news release. "While the flu season has not been as severe as some recent years, the latest CDC updates report that flu activity is on the rise."
Kmart is offering the shots for $10 in most other states. But it costs more in Hawai'i because of a law prohibiting selling them below cost.
Other states where the shots may cost more are California, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
