Ray’s Pharmacy is pleased to announce we will now be offering walk in vaccination clinics. The clinics will begin September 20, 2023 and will offer the following vaccines:

Standard Vaccines

  • Influenza – Regular and High dose for those 65 and over.
  • Pneumonia (Prevnar 20)
  • Covid booster – we will offer the new formulation recently released by the FDA and CDC for those
    12 years and older. Estimated timing for receipt of vaccine is early Oct.
  • Shingles (Shingrix) for those over 50 years old, available as a two-dose series (2 to 6 months apart).
  • Tetanus including pertussis (TDAP) for those 12 years and older and greater than 10 years since the last dose of vaccine.

Additional Vaccines – available with advance notice

  • HPV
  • Meningococcal
  • RSV

Walk up clinic hours will be posted at the pharmacy and on our website (orcasrx.com). All patients will be served on a first come first serve basis during the hours posted for the clinics. Wait times may vary depending on the number of people requesting vaccines. Please allow at least 30 minutes for your vaccination.

To save time, you can download the consent form from our website or obtain a copy at the pharmacy in advance of your visit. Please wear comfortable clothing with easy access to your upper arm.

Many insurance companies will cover the cost of vaccinations. We will also have cash pricing available on our website and at the store. COVID vaccines are no longer provided by the federal government and will be processed through insurance or cash pricing.

We are excited to offer expanded availability of vaccines to our community. Come see us soon!
