Flu & shingles shot benefits

As we get older, our immune systems weaken. That’s why it’s so important to get the vaccinations your doctor recommends. 

The best way to prevent the flu is to get your flu shot

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone 6 months and older get the flu shot. Your Aetna plan covers this service under your Part B (medical) coverage. When you get your shot, show your member ID card for medical coverage.  

 

As an Aetna Medicare Advantage member, you have the option to choose how you get your flu shot.

  • Schedule an appointment with your doctor

    It’s best to get your shot before flu season begins. If you don’t have a doctor yet, use the online tool below to search for one in our network.
