Winn-Dixie Sweetens Vaccination Deal

As a way to ensure its shoppers stay healthy both physically and financially, Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. is offering customers who get a seasonal flu vaccination at one of the Southeastern grocer’s pharmacies from Oct. 20 through Oct. 26 the following free items: a 4-pound bag of Florida navel oranges, a 1.75-liter container of Simply Orange orange juice, an 8-ounce bottle of Winn-Dixie hand sanitizer, a 35-count package of Winn-Dixie disinfecting wipes, and a 75-count box of Scotties tissues, at a total value of $14.76. The flu shot costs $23 when shoppers present a Customer Reward Card -- $5 off the regular price.

“At Winn-Dixie, we strive to keep our customers healthy — this deal is our solution to protect people from the flu by offering a valuable incentive to get vaccinated,” noted Winn-Dixie VP of pharmacy John Fegan. “By getting vaccinated now and taking advantage of this great deal, customers not only save money in the short term, but they save the future hassle of additional medical costs, doctor visits, missed work and other costs associated with the flu.”

Flu vaccines are available on a walk-in basis in all 379 of Winn-Dixie’s in-store pharmacies and are administered by certified pharmacists.

Jacksonville, Fla.-based Winn-Dixie operates 485 retail grocery locations in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi.
