Novavax and pediatric COVID appointments are now available!

We’re excited to announce that appointments for Novavax and pediatric COVID vaccines are now available on our Appointments page. Novavax is available for patients 12 years and older, just like the adult versions of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines. For pediatric COVID shots, we're offering the Moderna vaccine available to children ages 3-11. Click the button below to book!

If you have additional questions about our vaccination services, we recommend checking out our Vaccination page first, then sending us a message here. This page has detailed information about the vaccines we offer, age requirements, pricing, travel, and how to access your Minnesota state vaccination record using the Docket app.

900 signatures… and counting!

Thank you to the more than 900 patients, neighbors, and community members who have signed our petition for U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum so far! If you haven’t had a chance to stop in and add your voice of support for her co-sponsorship of The Pharmacists Fight Back Act (H.R.9096), there’s still time. Add your signature on one of the clip boards at the front of our store next time you’re in—and tell a friend to do the same—to help us reach over 1,000 signatures!

If we haven’t convinced you yet that pharmacies are disappearing at an alarming rate, check out this interactive map of MN zip codes without a pharmacy, created by our friend and fellow indie pharmacy advocate, Luke Slindee.

We ❤️ Lena Khan

FTC Chair Lena Khan was featured on a segment of 60 Minutes this past Sunday. The youngest-ever chair of the Federal Trade Commission sat down with Lesley Stahl to discuss how corporate consolidation and anti-competitive business practices are driving up prices throughout the U.S. economy. In July, the FTC released an interim report on their years-long investigation into PBM abuse kicking off a dramatic legal battle between the regulatory agency and the drug middlemen. Most recently, the FTC sued the three largest PBMs for artificially inflating insulin prices and pocketing billions at the expense of vulnerable patients.

Their conversation about consumer drug prices begins about 3 minutes into the 13 minute segment.
