    Definitely CVS and I think even Target's pharmacies have offered them.

    Just a heads up, I used to work at a health insurance company, so pay attention what your plan covers.

    Quite a few cover flu shots as part of an office visit, meaning the flu shot at the doctor is covered, the one at a pharmacy is not.

    So either way you'd have to pay, either the doctor visit co-pay or the charge at CVS/ Target / Walmart.

    So just verify if they are covered as part of an office visit or if your plan covers them on their own. Where I worked we got tons of calls this time of year. And people realized that the $20 co-pay the doctor was a better bargain than a $29.95 shot. Or even a $15 shot because even with the $20 co-pay that got a doctor visit out of it.

    So be sure to check your plan!

    Good luck!
