IMMUNIZATION
HOW
IT WORKS
Hi-Rx has partnered with several pharmacies to make sure that we can deliver you the vaccine that you need, and administer it at a place and time of your choosing.
​
If you are interested in booking an appointment with us for vaccine administration, please call us at 203-920-4092 so that we can walk you or your physician through the process.
To give you an idea of what usually happens:
​
Your physician orders the Rx and sends it to Hi-Rx and one of our partner pharmacies.
​
​
Hi-Rx calls you to schedule a time & place for your appointment.
​
You might also receive a call from the pharmacy to verify your insurance information and discuss co-pay, if there is any.
​
​
Day of Administration
Hi-Rx picks up the vaccine at the pharmacy and maintains storage requirements while travelling.
​
​
Hi-Rx travels to your place of choosing and administers the vaccine.
​

Keep in mind:
Hi-Rx picks up the vaccine for you.
No need to do anything else other than wait for Hi-Rx!
