Flu Vaccine Information

We want to keep you healthy…let us arm you against the flu.

A flu shot is critical to keep your immune system strong and to protect yourself from the flu virus. The flu shot not only reduces your risk of illness but can prevent hospitalizations and deaths.


Early prevention is your best defense.

Flu season begins in the early fall and ends in the spring, peaking between December and February. It’s best to get vaccinated before flu season starts. For more information on flu vaccine coverage for Martin's Point health plan members and offerings for patients, refer to plan-specific and health care center resources.
