With the fall comes cooler weather and the respiratory infections Influenza (flu), RSV and COVID-19. Thankfully, these infections can be prevented with vaccines. Tufts Health Plan covers them with no cost to you when you go to an in-network provider. You can use our Find a Doctor or Hospital tool to find an in-network provider. You can learn more about these infections at vaccines.gov. If you’re not sure which vaccines are right for you, talk with your provider and decide together based on your preferences, age and health conditions.
You are able to get the flu, RSV and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time. Experts recommend that to really protect yourself, you should get them as early as possible in the season before you are exposed to someone who is sick. You can get your vaccines from your provider, walk-in clinics or the pharmacy.
We hope you will take advantage of the no-cost-to-you vaccines by making an appointment to see your provider, an urgent care provider or a pharmacy as soon as you can.
