FWIW when I saw Safeway was giving flu shots (which apparently is because of an aborted partnership with Theranos), I thought &quot;WTF would I get a shot at the grocery store?&quot;  But then my doctor recommended that I get routine vaccinations there because it&#x27;s apparently about 1&#x2F;2 the price of getting them at the clinic.  And I tried it, and it&#x27;s actually a lot more convenient than going to the clinic.  The shots are given in a private room by a licensed pharmacist who&#x27;s trained to know about any possible adverse reactions, and there&#x27;s usually no lines and little waiting.<p>I was a skeptic, but a doctor&#x27;s suggestion turned me into a believer.  It&#x27;s just that Safeway&#x27;s the beneficiary of this rather than Theranos now.<p>Workplaces have also given flu shots for a while now - they had a yearly flu clinic at Google the years I was there, but I always found it more convenient to go into Safeway at my leisure than drop my work during the day and get stuck with a needle in front of my coworkers.
