March 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Troy, MI – March 15, 2010 – Medtipster, the company that helps consumers instantly find prescription drugs available on discount generic programs from pharmacies in their neighborhoods, also provides a quick and simple way for Americans to locate where they can receive flu shots nationwide, targeted by zip code.

Visitors to www.medtipster.com can simply click on the flu shot icon at the top of the screen to reach the search page. By entering their zip code, consumers are instantly provided with a list of local pharmacies and mini clinics where they can receive their desired immunization. The list includes contact information for the pharmacy or mini clinic, the cost of the immunization, and a map of the pharmacy/mini clinic location.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from complications related to the flu, and 36,000 die from flu-related causes. The CDC recommends flu vaccinations as the best way to prevent the flu.

“Flu shots are an important part of an annual vaccination regimen, but consumers can find the task of determining where to receive these shots to be daunting,” said Jason A. Klein, President of Medtipster. “We want to provide a quick, user-friendly resource to ease this process for consumers.”
