Health New England is pleased to announce that we have again partnered with Big Y, Rite Aid and Louis & Clark to offer flu shot clinics at your place of employment for your employees. Schedule yours early and take advantage of this great benefit for your employees.

Flu season in the U.S. can begin as early as October and last until May. Each flu season is different because the flu virus is constantly changing. Influenza can cause serious illness and even death, which is why it is so important to get annual flu shots.

Adult preventive immunizations such as the flu vaccination are considered preventive care, which means there is a $0 copay for all who participate. All vaccinations at the on-site flu clinics will be administered by trained medical professionals.

For more information, read the On-Site Flu Vaccine Program FAQs.

“Your best defense against the seasonal flu is to get a yearly flu shot. Also, keep your hands clean by frequently washing them with soap and water or by using a hand sanitizer. And, don’t forget to get plenty of rest and eat healthy to boost your immune system.”
