Walmart hosts annual summer wellness event at stores statewide just in time before new school year

All 9 Walmart stores throughout Hawai’i are hosting The Wellness Event this weekend to provide families an opportunity to check key health metrics, explore immunization options and complete wellness needs shile shopping for school essentials and other needs.

The free annual summer wellness event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 25 at the Hilo and Kailua-Kona Walmart stores on the Big Island.

Walk-ins are welcome; no registration is required.

Customers can receive a variety of health screenings, connect with Walmart pharmacists and learn more about resources that support overall wellness.

The event makes preventive care accessible and affordable, especially during the busy back-to-school season.

What customers can expect

• Immunizations: No-cost flu shots (covered by most major insurance plans), plus affordable immunizations such as respiratory syncytial virus, shingles, tetanus, human papillomavirus and more.
• Guidance: Trusted Walmart pharmacists will offer nutrition insights, medication support and personalized recommendations.
