Let’s take care of each other

When you get a flu shot, you’re not just keeping yourself healthy. You’re helping everyone around you stay healthy, too.

Every year, the flu affects 20% of the population–but it doesn’t have to. Every person who receives a flu shot reduces the risk of others getting the flu by 50-60%. We can all fight this thing together.

This flu season, we’re delivering free flu-fighting care packages across the country. When you receive a pack, you’ll have the option to request a free flu shot from a registered nurse–for up to 5 people.

Over the last three years, people from Boston to Cape Town have had the opportunity to press a button and fight the flu. And we’re confident that together–with a sprinkle of care and a dash of technology–we can build a healthier future for everyone, in every city.

Here’s how you can do your part:

We want you to know that demand will be high–so we really appreciate your patience. Thank you for taking the time to take care of yourself and the people around you.
