FWIW when I saw Safeway was giving flu shots (which apparently is because of an aborted partnership with Theranos), I thought "WTF would I get a shot at the grocery store?" But then my doctor recommended that I get routine vaccinations there because it's apparently about 1/2 the price of getting them at the clinic. And I tried it, and it's actually a lot more convenient than going to the clinic. The shots are given in a private room by a licensed pharmacist who's trained to know about any possible adverse reactions, and there's usually no lines and little waiting.

I was a skeptic, but a doctor's suggestion turned me into a believer. It's just that Safeway's the beneficiary of this rather than Theranos now.

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.
