Flu Shot
Welcome to the flu shot page. We offer worksite clinics for your convenience, or you can get a shot at your doctor or pharmacy.
You need a new vaccine each year because flu viruses evolve so quickly, so last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's viruses. New flu vaccines are released yearly to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses.
The worksite clinics are concluded for 2024 and will begin again in the fall of 2025.
Please see the "Other Locations" link below if you need a flu shot.
- Visit your doctor's office.
- Visit your pharmacy.
- Use an in-Network pharmacy for your medical plan.
- Bring your medical card and have the pharmacist bill the flu shot under your medical carrier coverage—NOT the pharmacy coverage.
- Note: CVS is no longer in-Network for UnitedHealthcare members' preventive vaccines and flu shots. COVID-19 vaccines are available in-Network or out-of-Network.
- Do I have to pay for a flu shot? No. Flu shots are preventive care and are free of charge if you are on state insurance plans.
- Why do I need to get vaccinated every year? Because flu viruses evolve so quickly, last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's viruses. New flu vaccines are released yearly to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses.
- Does a flu shot conflict with a COVID-19 vaccination? No. The two vaccines do not conflict. You may get the shots on consecutive days or on the same day.
