Vaccination information
Research shows that a strong vaccination recommendation from a provider is the greatest motivator for people of all ages to vaccinate themselves and their family members against serious infectious diseases. Protect yourself and our members from falling victim to vaccine-preventable diseases by utilizing our vaccine resources.

Flu vaccination
The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) offers a wealth of resources and tools surrounding the importance of vaccination. Visit the CDC’s Influence Information for Healthcare Professionals page to get the latest guidance on vaccinations, flu prevalence tracking by geography, and tips for talking with patients about getting the flu shot.
For help making a strong recommendation for flu vaccination, the CDC offers a #flightflu toolkit with patient education materials and helpful videos with examples of how to make your recommendation.
