Each year, 5% to 20% of the U.S. population gets the flu, resulting in lost productivity and extra health costs. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. To help, employers can set up flu vaccine clinics at their worksites through Medica's Worksite Flu Vaccine Program.  Both fully-insured and self-insured employers can participate.

Costs for Medica members' flu shots are processed as routine preventive care. Please note: Medica has special agreements with certain providers for worksite flu vaccine clinics.  If employers use other providers, any associated claims will be paid based on the members' benefits for non-participating provider coverage.
