I called both the CVS Minute Clinic and the Take Care Clinic at Walgreens to get some clarification on the free flu shot offer and this is what I found:
Clarification on the CVS / Minute Clinic side: (offices in some CVS stores):
1. The flu shots won't become available until October.
2. Free shots are *only* offered to people who are unemployed and/or without insurance.
3. Those who are unemployed will be able to pick up vouchers at their local job service office once the shots become available.
4. Flu shots will *only* be available at CVS stores that have Minute Clinics.
For more info: call 866-389-2727 or e-mail

Clarification for Take Care clinics (offices in some Walgreens):
If the Take Care Clinics sell 1 million flu vaccinations before October 31st, they will donate 1 million flu vaccines to various organizations for distribution.
