Bi-Lo announces seasonal flu shots, Rx discount card program

MAULDIN, S.C. A regional supermarket chain is kicking off two new health-and-wellness initiatives, just in time for the upcoming flu season.

Bi-Lo announced Friday a seasonal flu vaccination program at its pharmacies, as well as a new prescription discount card. The seasonal flu vaccinations will cost $30 and are available at a discounted rate of $27 for customers that present their My Bi-Lo BonusCard, the retailer said.

Meanwhile, Bi-Lo's prescription discount card, which will kick off Oct. 1, provides deep discounts on prescriptions and is good for the entire family’s prescription needs. The card costs $5 per year, and upon signing up, customers will receive a Bi-Lo gift card worth $5 to go toward all Top Care health and beauty products. Customers can save up to 75% on generic prescriptions and 25% on brand-name prescriptions. The program builds on the chain's existing $4/$10 generic drug plan.

“Bi-Lo is dedicated to providing great care and consultation to all of our customers,” said Curtis Hartin, senior director of pharmacy for Bi-Lo. “It is important now more than ever to stay protected with this year’s vaccine, and with these two new programs, our knowledgeable pharmacists are ready to provide shoppers more ways to save without having to sacrifice cost or quality of their care.”
