Every year, flu vaccination prevents illnesses, medical visits, hospitalizations and deaths. Christian Brothers Health Benefit Services would like to help you realize your wellness potential and place you in control of your health and fitness goals while staying healthy this flu season.
More than 76 percent of the U.S. population live within a five-mile radius of a local pharmacy, making access to vaccination readily available, allowing you to protect yourself against the flu at your convenience.
Both CVS and Walgreens pharmacies offer walk-in appointments to receive the influenza immunization, and some employers offer flu shot clinics onsite making it a convenient, safe option for you to get your flu shot.
If visiting a pharmacy, please show your insurance card. Most pharmacies will bill Christian Brothers Services directly. If you receive a vaccination at a local pharmacy and are charged, the Trust will fully reimburse the cost. Download the reimbursement form here.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza (flu) can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Flu is different from a cold. Flu usually comes on suddenly. People who have flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
*It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever. For more information visit Flu and COVID-19 Symptoms.
