More recently, big department store and supermarket chains have also gotten into the vaccination business, but some health care professionals aren't sure that the new trend is a good idea. Fort Wayne Pediatrician Dr. Reshma Khatri is nervous about the proliferation of vaccinations through retail stores. She says it prevents patients from getting to talk to a doctor direct about things like possible side effects from shots. She also worries about maintaining complete records of immunizations, especially for children. " Parents come in, they ask, how many shots do I need this year? I'm going to ask them, did they get two shots last year. They don't know. So, the continuity is lost and that's an issue," Dr. Khatri said. Insurance companies, in some cases, balk at paying on retail vaccinations. Kroger counters, it charges just $25.00 for flu shots, which can be less than insurance co-pays anyway. Nick Sloffer says a person's primary care physician is notified within two weeks of an injection. He says all Kroger pharmacists are certified immunizers, trained in basic life support for health professionals. " So, if there is any kind of adverse event associated with that shot while you're here in the store, we can take care of that, we're trained to take care of that," Sloffer said. Because most shots come from the same big drug manufacturers, sicknesses like the recent outbreak of meningitis from steroid injections could come from a doctor's office or retail store.
