2024-2025 Influenza Vaccine Information

Flu season is upon us. We are concerned about your health and encourage everyone to get vaccinated annually against influenza. Every year flu puts hundreds of thousands of people in the hospital. Flu vaccine can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, hospitalizations and has been shown to be lifesaving.
The CDC recommends annual influenza vaccination for all persons aged ≥6 months who do not have contraindications. Talk to your medical care provider about receiving the flu vaccine when it becomes available.

You can contact your primary care provider to schedule a flu vaccine appointment by calling 719-524-2273.

Additional Information About the Flu Vaccine

Active-Duty Service Members (ADSMs) are required to get the flu vaccine. ADSMs may receive their flu vaccine at their unit flu event, at their clinic when vaccine becomes available, or off-post at a TRICARE-approved pharmacy at no cost.

Flu vaccine can also be obtained at TRICARE-approved pharmacies. To find a participating pharmacy, you can search https://tricare.mil/CoveredServices/IsItCovered/FluVaccine or by call: 877-363-1303.

If you are an ADSM and you get your flu vaccine at an off-post pharmacy, ensure you get proof of vaccination to give to your unit’s medical providers.
