The “Do Good” Side of Prevention

For every vaccination administered at a Walgreens pharmacy, Walgreens will donate the value of a lifesaving vaccine to people in developing countries as part of their Get a Shot, Give a Shot campaign with the UN Foundation, which has provided more than 20 million polio and measles vaccines.

Little Clinics, located inside select Kroger grocery stores, offer flu shots that provide food for people in need. Through Kroger’s One Shot One Meal program, money is donated to Feeding America food banks for every flu shot. Last year, Kroger donated 330 million meals through the program.

“Kroger is committed to helping people live healthier lives and we’re excited to continue this initiative for the second year,” says Colleen Lindholz, Kroger’s president of pharmacy and The Little Clinic, in a press release.

Walgreens and the United Nations Foundation launched the third year of “Get a Shot. Give a Shot.” Walgreens customers have helped to provide more than 20 million polio and measles vaccines to people in developing countries through the successful program.

“We’re really proud of the campaign,” said Eid.
