Pediatricians gave immunization shots at convenient times in a roomy, cheerful children's store with a party atmosphere, where the kids were the center of attention. Parents heard about the offer through all the participating outlets and received free snack coupons after the kids received their shots so they could reward their children with a snack from a nearby store.
