Flu
shots will also be available at the TI Annual
Retiree Luncheon, scheduled October 27, 2009 at the
Mesquite Convention Center. The cost of the flu shot
is covered by Medicare Part B or TI BCBS PPO insurance. You must bring your Medicare Card for
the flu shots if covered by Medicare Part B, or your
TI BCBS PPO card if not on Medicare. You will need
to pay $23 by cash or check and file for
reimbursement from any insurers other than TI BCBS
PPO or Medicare plans. Vaccinations for the
H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus will not be available at the
Annual Retiree Luncheon or the on-site clinics.
(See Flu Facts for the
latest information on H1N1.)
|
Spouses,
same-gender domestic
partners, dependents and
retirees on the Blue
Cross Blue Shield are covered at 100
percent, as are retirees
with the Medicare Part B
card.
HMO participants
should check with
their plans to
determine coverage.
Can you afford to get
the flu?
Every year in the United
States, on average:
-
Five to 20 percent
of the population
gets the flu
-
More than 200,000
people are
hospitalized from
flu complications
-
Approximately 36,000
people die from flu.
Getting the flu can cost
you time and money.
Missed days from work
and missed time with
family and friends can
have a negative
financial and emotional
impact. The best
alternative is
prevention and a
vaccination is your best
shot at protection.
Who should not be
vaccinated?
Some people should not
be vaccinated without
first consulting a
physician. They include:
-
People who have a
severe allergy to
chicken eggs
-
People who have had
a severe reaction to
an influenza
vaccination in the
past
-
People who developed
Guillain-Barré
Syndrome (GBS)
within six weeks of
getting an influenza
vaccine previously
-
Children younger
than six months of
age (influenza
vaccine is not
approved for use in
this age group)
-
People who have a
moderate or severe
illness. If you have
a fever you should
wait to get
vaccinated until
your symptoms
lessen.
If you have questions
about whether you should
get a flu vaccine,
consult your healthcare
provider.
