Immunization Awareness
Vaccines (shots) help prevent dangerous and sometimes deadly diseases. National Immunization Awareness Month is the perfect time to promote vaccines and remind family, friends, and co-workers to get caught up on their shots.
Shots can prevent serious diseases like measles, diphtheria, and rubella. It’s important to know which shots you need and when to get them. Everyone age 6 months and older needs a seasonal flu shot every year. Other shots work best when they are given at certain ages.

Employee Spotlight:
Zach Wilson, Pharmacy Intern
"This is my second year working for the Peninsula Pharmacies. I worked last summer, winter break, and this summer. My title is “Pharmacist Assistant,” but I am also the driver that delivers for our stores and facilities in the community.
I enjoy working with the variety of people that come into the store along with all of the staff. They are always there if you need a good laugh. Making a customer happy is also a good feeling.
I enjoy camping with my family, hiking, and kayaking. I am also an Eagle Scout. I'm about to start my third year at Saint Martins University in Lacey, Washington. I am pursuing a degree in Biology, and once my four years are completed there I plan on transferring to a pharmacy school. Becoming a Pharmacist is my career aspiration."
