Protect Yourself from the Flu

Are your employees traveling or “staycationing” this holiday season? Don’t let the flu derail their plans. Employers may host worksite vaccinations, or members may visit participating pharmacy locations. HMAA members are covered for flu vaccines at 100% and may contact their nearest participating in-store pharmacy to schedule an appointment or inquire about walk-ins.

 

Flu vaccines at Longs Drugs or CVS are covered under HMAA’s prescription drug benefits at no member cost. For all other participating pharmacies, the flu vaccine is covered under HMAA’s medical benefits at no member cost.
