Tarrant County Partners with Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Kroger to Offer Free Flu Shots for Uninsured Families
For those without health insurance, Tarrant County is making it as easy as possible to get a flu vaccination.
The CDC has stated that a flu vaccine is more important than ever during the 2020-2021 flu season. To protect Tarrant County citizens, as well as to help reduce the burden on our healthcare systems responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tarrant County has partnered with Kroger and Albertsons/Tom Thumb pharmacies to administer free flu vaccinations to uninsured residents of Tarrant County through Dec. 30, 2020. Tarrant County will be billed $25 per vaccination under the program.
“With COVID-19 surging across North Texas, it is important we do everything possible to keep the flu season under control and maintain hospital capacity,” said Tarrant Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. “This public-private partnership provides broader access to free flu vaccine, making it easier for anyone in Tarrant County to get a flu shot this season.”
“The pandemic has made it even more critical this year to get a flu shot, not only to protect ourselves, but to protect those we love, our communities, and our resources,” said Julie Spier, R.Ph., director of Pharmacy Operations for Albertsons and Tom Thumb. “Tom Thumb and Albertsons are proud to partner with Tarrant County to care for and to help in protecting our community from the flu.”
“The health and safety of our patients and our communities is always top priority for Kroger Health and we are honored to partner with Tarrant County to protect residents and reduce their risk of flu illness and flu-associated complications,” said Jeff Loesch, director of pharmacy for Kroger Health Dallas Division. “Throughout the last several months, Tarrant County and our Kroger Health teams have worked closely together to deploy COVID-19 testing in addition to flu vaccinations. Though the flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, we are confident this effort will reduce hospitalizations and deaths, thereby conserving vital healthcare resources.”
