The pharmacy team utilizes the same thorough disinfection protocols for all patients, disinfecting and sanitizing between each patient to ensure the health & safety for all patients.
Flu, pneumonia, shingles and other immunizations are currently available to customers at all Stop & Shop Pharmacy locations.
