Local and family-owned pharmacy group, Josefs Pharmacy, is doing its part to keep the community safe and healthy this flu season by providing on-site vaccination services to local organizations, like senior living facilities, throughout Raleigh Durham. Since the start of the flu season, Josefs has already administered over 550 vaccines; more than double the totals from last year, and expect that number to continue to grow through the end of the year.
RALEIGH DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Josefs Pharmacy Expands Community Vaccination Efforts During Peak Flu Season
Raleigh-Durham pharmacy group administers more than double last year's total vaccinations through on-site clinics and local partnerships
As flu season reaches its peak, Josefs Pharmacy is taking proactive steps to keep the Raleigh-Durham community safe and healthy. The family-owned pharmacy group has expanded its vaccination efforts beyond its Raleigh and Durham locations by providing free, on-site flu and COVID-19 vaccine clinics to small businesses, schools, churches, senior living communities and other organizations across the region.
Record-Setting Flu Season for Josefs Pharmacy
Since the start of flu season, Josefs pharmacists and staff have administered more than 550 flu and COVID-19 vaccines across seven on-site locations—more than double the total vaccinations provided in all of 2024. Pharmacist Stephen Oradesky expects that number to continue climbing through the end of the year. "The holidays are a time to come together, and making sure your vaccines are up to date is one of the best ways to protect you and the people you care about," Oradesky said. "At Josefs, we're proud to help keep our community healthy and ready to enjoy the season."
Supporting Local Senior Living Communities
Josefs maintains long-standing partnerships with several long-term care and 55+ senior living facilities, where the pharmacy provides prescription delivery, on-site vaccinations and year-round pharmacy services. Among them is Southern Magnolia Living, owned by Candy Moore, who credits Josefs with helping her keep residents and staff vaccinated efficiently. "Josefs Pharmacy always goes above and beyond for us," Moore said. "The pharmacy team is professional, kind and patient with every resident, making sure they feel comfortable and informed. The Josefs team feels like family. It's clear they care about supporting the health of the community."
Expanding Reach Through Community Events
This year, Josefs further extended its outreach as an official sponsor of PoeFest, a free health and wellness festival in Raleigh hosted by the Poe Center for Health Education. At the October event, Josefs pharmacists provided free flu and COVID-19 vaccinations to individuals and families attending the festival.
Vaccination Services at Josefs Pharmacy Locations
Beyond its on-site clinics, Josefs offers a full range of vaccinations at its Raleigh and Durham pharmacies, including flu, COVID-19, TDAP, RSV, pneumonia and shingles for adults 50 and older. Strong relationships with repeat patients help drive demand, thanks to convenient access and staff familiarity. "Part of the reason we have a record turnout is that many patients return year after year," Oradesky said. "We can easily review their vaccination history and let them know what they may be due for."
A Community-Rooted, Family-Owned Pharmacy
As a locally owned business, Josefs is committed to delivering personalized care and supporting the well-being of the Raleigh-Durham community. The pharmacy's mission reflects its close-knit approach: "We know our patient's names and they know ours."
