Immunizing pharmacists in the BCBSNC network are licensed and certified to provide and administer vaccines, such as the flu shot, in retail pharmacies. In order for a vaccine received in a pharmacy to be covered, it must be administered by an immunizing pharmacist participating in our network. Immunizing pharmacists will only administer flu shots to eligible members ages 14 and older. To find a participating immunizing pharmacist, visit the Find a doctor section on our site, and search for Pharmacist (Flu & Other Limited Injections) under Specialty.
