“Get a Shot, Give a Shot” vaccine initiative extends Walgreens commitment to improving immunization rates and wellness beyond the U.S. They are building upon its efforts to provide greater access to vaccines and other health care services for populations in need.
Walgreens is partnering with the United Nations Foundation this flu season, to help provide up to 3 million life-saving vaccines to children in developing countries through a donation to the Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign.
Shot@Life is a movement to protect children worldwide by providing life-saving vaccines
where they are needed most. The campaign is focused on educating and empowering Americans
to support and advocate for decreasing vaccine-preventable childhood deaths while giving
children around the world a shot at a healthy life.
Walgreens customers have an opportunity to play an integral role in the cause. Now through Oct. 14, for every vaccine administered at any Walgreens pharmacy, Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens or Duane Reade pharmacy in New York, Walgreens will donate the value of a life-saving vaccine, primarily those for polio and measles, through Shot@Life – up to 3 million vaccines.
Did you know statistics show 1 in 5 children worldwide lack access to life-saving immunizations, and a child dies every 20 seconds from a vaccine-preventable disease. So everyone in US take this opportunity to help another child.
