Kickstart 2025 with Walmart Wellness Day: Free screenings and affordable immunizations on Jan. 11

Walmart invites communities to embrace a healthier lifestyle this year by joining them for the first Wellness Day of 2025 on Saturday, Jan. 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At Wellness Day, customers can receive a variety of free health screenings including glucose, cholesterol, body mass index and blood pressure as well as affordable immunizations like flu, COVID-19, HPV, mumps, measles and more at nearly 4,600 pharmacies nationwide. Select stores will also feature vision screenings, in-store giveaways and demonstrations of wellness products.

“A new year brings opportunities for a fresh start, and we want to support people on their health journeys,” said Kevin Host, senior vice president of pharmacy at Walmart. “Our Wellness Day events allow customers and patients to check in on their health in an affordable and convenient way while also encouraging meaningful connections with our highly skilled pharmacy teams.

Wellness Day also offers a chance for families to chat with pharmacists about topics like maintaining a healthy lifestyle, medications, recommended vaccinations and more, including health journeys for women currently or hoping to become pregnant. Pharmacists can discuss nutrition recommendations during pregnancy and beyond, like the importance of folic acid and its impact on a growing baby’s development.

Walmart pharmacies in 21 states can also provide high-quality testing and same-day treatment for strep, flu or COVID-19. Additionally, Walmart now carries combined COVID-19 and Flu A/B home tests, available over the counter. These tests can detect both COVID-19 and Flu A/B allowing families to understand when it’s more important to seek further care.

Walmart Wellness Day events include the following health resources, administered by qualified pharmacy and Vision Center teams:

• Free health screenings: Glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, vision screenings (select locations) and others.
• Affordable immunizations: Flu, COVID-19, measles, mumps, pneumonia, tetanus, HPV, rubella (MMR), varicella (chicken pox/shingles), whooping cough (TDAP), Hepatitis A & B and more.
• Wellness resources and the opportunity to talk with pharmacists.

Since 2014, Walmart pharmacies have hosted Wellness Days across the country, which has contributed to more than 5 million free health screenings for customers. More than 4,000 Walmart stores are in areas that are experiencing a shortage of medical providers, meaning that Walmart is often the first stop for health care in rural and underserved communities.
