Vaccines do more than help protect you.

Vaccination is one way to help reduce the risk of certain vaccine-preventable illnesses and their complications.

It can also help reduce the spread of illness within our communities—especially important for people who may be more vulnerable to serious diseases. From flu and COVID-19 to Tdap and pneumococcal vaccines, there are several vaccinations to consider throughout life.

Not sure what vaccination services are available at our pharmacy? Stop by or give us a call!

Please join us in congratulating Brad Peterson from our NuCara Pharmacy in Waterloo as our Employee of the Month for January.

Brad consistently goes above and beyond for the patients we serve. During the winter months, he often takes extra time to brush snow off patients’ cars and clear safe paths so they can get to their vehicles safely. These small but meaningful acts of kindness make a big difference for our patients.

Brad’s thoughtfulness, compassion, and willingness to help others truly embody what exceptional patient care is all about. We are proud to have him on the NuCara team.

Congratulations, Brad, and thank you for all you do for our patients.
