It’s time for seasonal vaccines
The HCM Benefits Department is excited to announce Fall Vaccine Villages, convenient district locations where employees can receive their seasonal vaccines. The Vaccine Villages will rotate throughout the district from Oct. 7 through Dec. 13, making it easier for team members to protect themselves and their families this season.
Given that seasonal flu symptoms can closely mimic those of COVID-19, vaccination is more important than ever. Getting a flu shot is a vital step we can all take to safeguard our health and the health of our loved ones.
The Vaccine Villages will offer a variety of vaccines, including:
- Standard flu shot
- High dose flu vaccine for individuals age 65 and older
- COVID-19 vaccines and boosters
- Pneumonia and shingles vaccines
Employees enrolled in any TRS Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBS) plans will have their vaccine costs fully covered. The Vaccine Village will accept several other insurance plans, subject to coverage, including Aetna Choice, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Medicare Part B, and United HealthCare Choice.
Please remember to bring a copy of your driver’s license and medical insurance information to your appointment. Although walk-ins will be accepted, advance registration is preferred. Registration for the clinics can be completed here.
