It's not too late to get your flu shot

Flu season is here. As long as flu viruses keep circulating, it's not too late to get vaccinated. Flu shots are free for people with Medicare once per flu season, when you get it from doctors or other health care providers (like senior centers and pharmacies) that take Medicare. There are many reasons to get a flu vaccine. It can reduce your risk of flu illness, doctors' visits, and missed work due to the flu. And, if you're vaccinated and still get the flu, the vaccine can reduce the severity of your illness. Learn More Getting vaccinated isn't just about keeping you healthy; it's also about helping to protect others around you who may be vulnerable to getting sick. Protect yourself and your loved ones — get your free flu shot as soon as possible!

Sincerely, The Medicare Team
