flu shots covered by medicare

Not only is it autumn and almost Medicare’s Open Enrollment season, it’s time for your flu shot. And did you know that you can get a flu shot and a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time? This is a friendly reminder that these vaccines can help you stay protected throughout flu season, and are both covered by Medicare.

Resources to spread the word

If you work with Medicare beneficiaries and/or their families, you can use the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ partner toolkits to spread the word on Medicare-covered flu shots:

  • 2022 Partner flu toolkit
  • 2022 Partner flu toolkit (Spanish)
  • Medicare flu shot images
  • Medicare flu shot images (Spanish)
