- AEAparna EwingNov 14, 20255.0Very friendly, helpful, and professional staff. My favorite pharmacy.
- SRSophia RunteOct 8, 20252.0Pharmacist lacked respect and professionalism when asked follow up question regarding medication usage. Pharmacist abruptly turned away without explanation and did not hand-off the quickly accumulating line of customers to other pharmacy staff.
- CDChristene DiehrJul 8, 20251.0Totally inconsistent service. This month they refused to sell my wife her doctor-prescribed medicine, even though she has always picked up the exact prescription and dosage there. She needs that medicine to control her arthritis, but they are withholding it because of some new and sudden quibble with the doctor's verbiage. Heaven forbid they reach out to the doctor to clarify!
Frequently Asked Questions About Safeway Pharmacy
Does Safeway Pharmacy offer vaccinations, and which ones are available?
Yes! Safeway Pharmacy provides a wide range of vaccinations for children, teens, and adults. Popular vaccines available include pneumonia, flu (influenza), COVID-19, shingles (Shingrix), and Tdap. Whether you need a routine immunization, a back-to-school shot, or a travel vaccine, Safeway Pharmacy makes it easy with walk-in availability and online appointment scheduling. Visit Safeway Pharmacy for convenient and reliable vaccination services near you.
Who should get the shingles shot?
Safeway Pharmacy offers the Shingrix shingles vaccine for adults aged 50 and older, as well as for adults 19 and older with weakened immune systems. The CDC recommends two doses, spaced 2 to 6 months apart, to protect against shingles and its complications. You can get vaccinated at Safeway Pharmacy even if you've had shingles before, received the Zostavax vaccine, or are unsure if you had chickenpox.
Does Safeway Pharmacy require an appointment for a vaccination?
No, Safeway Pharmacy does not require an appointment for vaccinations. Walk-ins are welcome, making it easy and convenient to get vaccinated on your schedule.
Why is reviewing my Medicare plan every year important?
Reviewing your Medicare plan every year is important because Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D) can change annually. These changes may affect your coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and provider network. By reviewing your plan during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period, you can ensure it still meets your healthcare needs and budget—and switch plans if necessary.
