Adult Influenza Vaccine Initiative
Adult Influenza Vaccine Initiative
As we are in the midst of the COVID- 19 pandemic, now is a more important time than ever to be protected from the flu. The severity of Influenza (flu) during a season is unpredictable. Vaccination each year is the best way to reduce the risk of getting the flu and spreading to others. Your immunization not only protects you but your family and friends as well.
This flu season, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Utah Department of Health created the Adult Influenza Vaccine Initiative to provide an allocation of flu vaccine for adults age 19 and older. While most insurances cover the cost of influenza vaccine with no out-of-pocket cost, this low-cost vaccine is primarily available for adults who are either underinsured or uninsured. Refer to the list of local health departments, community health centers, pharmacies and other community providers below to find a location near you to get vaccinated. These locations are taking extra precautions to ensure your safety and help decrease the chances of contracting both influenza and COVID-19 simultaneously.
