Immunizations are available at any Outpatient Pharmacy site on a walk-in basis if you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to close. For COVID vaccines only, you can also schedule an appointment using MyChart.
Vaccines we offer:
- COVID-19
- Flu
- Pneumonia
- RSV
- Shingles
- Tdap
- Hep A, Hep B, Hep A&B

- Rabies
In accordance with the State of Ohio Board of Pharmacy, the pharmacist may limit the provision of immunizations if such services cannot be safely provided. Should this occur, our staff can offer a future appointment or refer you to another location offering immunizations.
We can deliver your discharge prescriptions right to your hospital room so they’re ready to go when you are. This convenient and free service from The Ohio State University Outpatient Pharmacy is available in most inpatient areas of the medical center, including University Hospital, OSUCCC – The James and East Hospital.
Bedside delivery is optional, but we think you’ll appreciate how much easier it is to head home with your medications already in hand. It’s one less worry, one less errand. Most insurance plans are accepted, and any co-pays can be paid by check or major credit card.
Digital access to prescription information
In the upper right corner of every medication label, we’ve added a QR code. Simply scan the code with your smartphone to get prescription details on-the-go. We’ve updated to electronic information sharing to make it easier for patients to find the information they need from anywhere and to reduce paper waste. If you still want a paper print out, let the pharmacy staff know and they can provide one for you.
Online health information
Ohio State’s Patient Education Department provides access to easy-to-understand health information to help patients to actively participate in their care, and to achieve a level of understanding of their diagnoses and medications. The Patient Education website at wexnermedical.osu.edu/patiented has an extensive inventory of resources, with many handouts available in multiple languages. In addition to individual handouts, there are educational videos specific to a diagnosis, treatment or procedure.

The Ohio State University Outpatient Pharmacy has launched a Drug Take-Back Program that offers a convenient way for patients, visitors, employees and students to safely dispose of unused, unwanted or expired medications. Drug Take-Back Receptacles are located in the Outpatient Pharmacies at East Hospital and the conference level of the OSUCCC – James.
Through this program, Ohio State is taking an important step by helping to keep these drugs from causing harm or having a negative environmental impact and by supporting the strategic efforts to further our sustainable practices.
