Jobless people don't get paid sick days, so avoiding illness is all the more important for them. Luckily for the unemployed, some local drugstores have them covered. CVS Caremark and Walgreens are offering free seasonal flu shots to the jobless and uninsured.

CVS Corp. said it will provide 100,000 free seasonal flu shots to the unemployed, starting today. The program will include on-site flu clinics at its career center locations. CVS will also distribute vouchers for free flu shots at CVS/pharmacy or MinuteClinic locations.

Walgreens Co., the nation's largest drugstore chain, said it is providing $1 million worth of seasonal flu shots to uninsured adults. The shots will be given out through vouchers as well, which will go to eligible consumers who visit one of nine Wellness Tour locations across the U.S.
