COVID-19 Update:
For those customers who come into the store, we do request that you wear a mask (if you are able to).
We continue to offer Curbside pick-up for those who wish to pick up their prescriptions and other purchases, but who do not want to come into the store.
If you do not want to wear a mask into the store, we ask that you choose either Curbside pick-up or home delivery for your purchases.
If you want home delivery, we ask that you plan ahead, and call in a day in advance of wanting your delivery. This helps us if we need to order anything for your order, and also in our delivery planning logistics.
We know that emergencies do arise and if you have an urgent need such as an antibiotic, pain medication, or other new medication, we will always do our best to get it to you in a timely manner with same day delivery. Since our delivery staff is limited on the weekends, we try to deliver only emergency needs on the weekends.

Shingles Vaccine Update:
We have been able to get plenty of the Shingrix vaccine from our wholesaler.
At this time, we have worked through the waiting list we had for the vaccine. If you thought you were on our list, but haven't received a phone call, please give us a call and we can schedule you for the vaccination.
If you are interested in receiving the vaccine, please give us a call and we will schedule you for an appointment to receive the vaccine.
Scheduling appointments helps our staff manage the shots into our workflow, and minimizes the time you need to wait in the store.

Flu Shots:
We have received many questions already this year about flu shots, and when we will begin offering them.
Typically, we start giving flu shots at the beginning of October. The timing is important to make sure that you are covered for the entire flu season, so that is why we don't start offering them sooner than October 1.
We have not heard of any delays in the shipping of the flu vaccine this year like we experienced last year, but we will keep you updated if hear we are going to experience any delays.
This year it is going to be particularly important to make sure you get a flu shot since the COVID pandemic will still be a concern this winter, and you really need to make sure you are doing all that you can to maintain your health.
We are planning on having extra staff during the week of October 12-16, so that we can get as many people vaccinated that week as we can, as we are anticipating a greater demand for the flu shot this year. We will have more details on that week in upcoming newsletters.

New Products in the Store:
NEBO PAL-360
The PAL-360 is able to provide power, light and a fan all at the same time. It features a 150 lumen LED flashlight, a 2000mAh power bank to charge your USB powered devices, and a cooling personal fan that offers 2-speeds, all in a convenient folding design. It all fits in a box 5 inches long by 2 inches wide. The PAL itself is rechargeable and retails for $19.99.
This is a definite deal for everything you get with the PAL-360! The fan is fabulous and can either be used hand held, or the folding design allows you to set the fan on a flat surface.
The Center Drug staff is blown away with this nifty new product from NEBO. Stop in and try the demo, buy one for yourself, and pick up another for a gift this holiday season. The PAL-360 is going to sell very quickly!

CopaCalm
CopaCalm helps you remain calm and focused in stressful times. CopaCalm delivers a combination of natural ingredients that promote a calming focus. Stress affects everyone in varying degrees and for different reasons. Even situations that are enjoyable can be considered stressful to the nervous system and stimulate a stress response in your body. CopaCalm can be taken preemptively, or once the stress response has been activated, to help decrease the effects of stress on your body.
CopaCalm contains:
GABA--a natural amino acid produced in the brain and prevents over stimulation, relieves irritability from stress and elevates mood.
L-Theanine--a natural amino acid found abundantly in green tea and helps reduce stress by promoting a sense of calm and centered relaxation without causing drowsiness.
Huperzine A--a purified component derived from Chinese club moss that improves focus, learning and memory.
CopaCalm comes in a liquid with a dose of 2 dropperfuls 2-3 times per day.
If you are experiencing stress, and its effects, such as: irritability, muscle tension, difficulty concentrating, digestive issues, or sleep disturbances; or do certain situations such as giving a presentation cause stress for you? CopaCalm is worth a try. It is all natural and does not cause any drowsiness, so it is safe to take during the day while you are working. If you are experiencing stress due to the COVID pandemic, Copacalm could help to settle your nerves. Both adults and children can use CopaCalm.
As always, we do not recommend any products in this newsletter that we haven't tried ourselves. Three staff members have tried Copacalm, and all agree that it works!

Turiva
Turiva is a complete turmeric Matrix that helps to maintain normal inflammatory balance and maintains immune health.
Turiva contains:
Curcumin--which supports immune health and has multiple pathways to maintain normal inflammatory balance.
Turmerin Protein--which is an essential antioxidant peptide from turmeric that has cell protective effects by evading DNA-harming activities.
Turmeric Essential Oil--which maintains normal inflammatory balance by influencing protein-mediated cascades.
Turiva also contains other nutrients, including turmeric fibers and carbohydrates, to help support normal inflammatory input and strengthen immune reserves.
Turiva is a great product to try if you are experiencing inflammation in your body that is causing you pain or discomfort. We have had two staff members try this product, and it takes about a week of taking 1 capsule a day to notice a difference in joint pain/discomfort.
