Protect You and Your Family This Flu Season

Wannamaker Drug is committed to keeping our patients and the community well this flu season. Beginning in early September, Wannamaker Drug will be giving flu shots daily at both of its locations. We will also be offering monthly flu shot clinics throughout flu season.

Flu shots are $29 and can be given to anyone 18 years or older.  There is no co-pay for Medicare Part B participants.  September flu shot clinics are scheduled as follows:  September 20th and 27th from 10am – 2pm at our Cheraw Store and September 29th from 10am-2pm at our Chesterfield Store.

The single best way to prevent the flu is to get the flu shot every year.  Yearly flu vaccination should begin in September or as soon as vaccine is available.  The shot will last through the entire season.  Even healthy people can get the flu, and it can be serious so this flu season, protect you and your family by getting the flu vaccine.  Remember, the flu ends with “U”!

Wannamaker Drug Plants Living Tree of Remembrance

Every year Wannamaker Drug honors and remembers victims of cancer by planting a tree as a living tribute to those individuals who have faced the disease.
This year two trees were planted to honor the people from both the Cheraw and Chesterfield stores.
In Cheraw, a crape myrtle was planted at the Chesterfield Convalescent Center in honor of Darlene Lovelace and in memory of her husband Randall.  Darlene works at the Chesterfield Convalescent Center and is a cancer survivor.  She recently celebrated her one year anniversary of being cancer free.  The tree is also in memory of her husband who lost his battle with the disease.
Lovelace reflects on her experience saying, “those of us who are survivors should be grateful and not lose sight of the many that were less fortunate in their fight with cancer.”
Wannamaker Drug also planted a Cherry tree in Ruby at the home of Lois Ann Jordan in memory of her husband, Ronnie, who passed away from cancer in 2010.
Wannamaker Drug places an artificial tree in their store window every October that is decorated with the names of cancer victims and survivors. This year over 250 names were placed on the tree.  Every year a tree is planted in honor and memory of those individuals.
