CareOregon Advantage - Flu Shot Information

Get your flu shot and keep yourself healthier during coronavirus

The flu vaccine is free, safe and easy

Flu season begins in September, so now is the time to get vaccinated. And with the coronavirus (COVID-19) still spreading, it’s more important than ever to get a flu shot. While the shot can’t prevent COVID-19, it can help stop you from getting the flu. It is good to stay as healthy as possible while COVID-19 is still a concern.

Who should get the flu vaccine?

Every person over the age of six months should get an annual flu shot. Remember, flu shots are FREE for all CareOregon Advantage members. Talk with your primary care provider (PCP) if you have any questions about whether the flu vaccine is right for you.

Where can I get the flu vaccine?

Members who are 3 and older may get a flu shot from a participating pharmacy. Call your pharmacy to see if they provide flu shots. Take your Member ID card with you, so they know whom to bill.
Members under age 3 should get a flu shot from their primary care provider.
