Murphy – Vacations, camps and summer get-togethers are on the horizon, and Walmart wants to help make your health a priority for them all. Join Walmart for Wellness Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, when customers can receive free health screenings for things like glucose, cholesterol, BMI and blood pressure, as well as affordable immunizations like COVID-19, shingles, tetanus, measles and others at pharmacies nationwide.
Walmart Wellness Day encourages families to check in on their health by providing tools and resources to seek care, improve healthy lifestyles and maintain successful habits. Nearly 4,600 Walmart pharmacies – including the one in Murphy – across the country will host events featuring:
* Free health screenings, including glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index and vision screenings (select locations).
* Affordable immunizations, including COVID, measles, mumps, pneumonia, tetanus, HPV, rubella (MMR), varicella (chicken pox/shingles), whooping cough (TDAP), Hepatitis A & B and more.
* Wellness resources and the opportunity to talk with pharmacists.
Since 2014, Walmart pharmacies have hosted Walmart Wellness Days, contributing more than 5 million free health screenings for customers. More than 4,000 Walmart stores are in medical professional shortage areas, which means Walmart is often the first stop for health care in these communities.
