A community announcement for Crofton, MD, posted to Localism.com and FocusOnCrofton.com.
Flu shots seem to be widely available this year, and I have found three locations in Crofton where you can conveniently get yours: Giant, CVS, and Rite-Aid.
Mark your calendar for November 3. That's the next time you will be able to get your annual flu shot at the Giant in Crofton. (For a complete listing of Giant grocery stores where you can get flu shots, click here.)
Two local drugstores are offering flu shots, as well: The CVS website indicates that flu shots are available daily at the Crofton location, 2003 Davidsonville Road; RiteAid, at 2203 Defense Highway, will offer flu shots today and tomorrow (October 17 and 18).
Additionally, both shots and the nasal spray vaccines will be available at the Anne Arundel County Health Services Building on Truman Parkway on Oct. 17, Nov. 13 and Dec. 11.
According to the Anne Arundel County Department of Health, the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccination for anyone who wants to prevent the flu, as well as certain priority groups. Priority groups include: persons 50 years of age and older; individuals with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer and HIV/AIDS; children 6-59 months old; pregnant women; health care personnel who provide direct patient care; and household contacts and out-of-home care givers of children less than 5 years old.
