Each week through October 31st, every Kinney Drugstore will hide one cardboard cutout of our flu mascot, Flemy the Flu Monster, somewhere for kids to seek and find! Here's how the contest works:
1. Start your Mission. Pick up your game board at your local Kinney Drugs.
2. Search the Store. Flemy is hiding in a new location every week. (He moves every Sunday!)
3. Complete your Mission. Tell a Kinney associate where you found Flemy to earn a sticker for that week and $1 in “Kinney Cash” to spend.
4. Become a Flu-Free Champion. Collect at least 4 stickers before October 31st, turn in your game board at any register at any Kinney Drugs location, and be entered to win one of three (3) Grand Prizes of $100 Kinney gift cards!
Kids and families do NOT need to make a purchase or book a vaccination appointment to participate in the Find Flemy scavenger hunt. Anyone is welcome to participate. (A parent or guardian age 18+ needs to accept the prize on behalf of a child.)

Kinney Drugs makes staying up to date simple:
Stay healthy and protected—your local Kinney Drugs pharmacist is here to help whenever you’re ready.
The flu shot is a vaccine that helps your body build immunity against the most common influenza viruses expected during the 2026–27 season. It does not contain live virus and cannot give you the flu.
The CDC recommends flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older, especially:
The best time to get vaccinated is early fall, ideally before the end of October. However, flu shots are still beneficial later in the season.
Yes. Flu vaccines are thoroughly tested and monitored for safety. Side effects are usually mild and may include soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever.
No. The flu shot uses inactivated virus or a single viral protein, so it cannot cause the flu.
Most insurance plans cover the flu shot at no cost. Kinney Drugs accepts most major insurance providers. Check with your local store for details.
Yes! You can often receive other vaccines—like COVID-19 boosters or RSV—during the same visit. Ask your pharmacist for availability.
Flu shots are available at all Kinney Drugs locations.
Walk-ins are welcome or schedule online. Most insurance plans accepted.
