Flu Season is Here – Get Your Flu Shot
Posted on October 21, 2022
Flu vaccination is very important for people 65 years and older because you are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chance that you will get the flu. In addition, the flu vaccine is an important preventive tool for people with chronic health conditions. Another benefit of receiving the flu shot is that your illness may be milder if you do get sick. For more about the flu and the benefits of the flu vaccine, please visit www.cdc.gov/flu.
Health New England covers the flu vaccine at no cost to you when obtained from an in-plan provider. You can get it at your doctor’s office or at a participating retail pharmacy. Consult with your primary care provider before receiving the flu vaccine if you have questions.
