Flu vaccines now available at UK Retail Pharmacies
Standard and high-dose flu shots for the 2025 season are now available at UK Retail Pharmacies. To reduce the risk of serious illness and protect others, the CDC advises that everyone 6 months and older get a flu shot each year.
Standard flu shots are available for anyone age 5 and older at all UK Retail Pharmacy locations. Those who are pregnant should consult their OB/GYN before getting vaccinated. The high-dose shot is approved for anyone age 65 and older.
The UK Pharmacist Care Clinic, located at 245 Fountain Court, off Man O’War near Richmond Road, offers vaccines for patients 6 months and older. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all UK Retail Pharmacy locations.
In addition to flu protection, COVID vaccines are currently available to patients 65 and older, or those under 65 with one or more high risk comorbid conditions. Patients outside these groups will need a valid prescription from a provider. Ask your pharmacist about receiving both vaccines during the same visit. For questions or scheduling help, you can reach the Pharmacist Care Team at 859-562-2018.
UK HealthCare employees are welcome to receive their required flu shot at any UK Retail Pharmacy location. No additional reporting is needed, and badge buddies are available.
