NEW YORK (

) -- Investors are closely monitoring drugstores for signs that seasonal flu shots have begun to pay dividends.

Walgreen

(WAG)

As a result, the three major drugstores -- Walgreen,

Rite Aid

(RAD) - Get Report

and

CVS Caremark

(CVS) - Get Report

-- all began offering seasonal flu shots earlier this year. But which is poised to gain the most from consumers' heightened fears? Take our poll and leave a comment telling readers why you voted the way you did.
