The Fine Print

  • The seasonal influenza vaccine often protects against more than one strain of the virus and is different each year based on projections for illness-causing strains. For more information on flu shot safety, efficacy, or necessity, click here or contact your health care provider. 
  • If you cannot get your flu shot through the Montana Health Centers or at an on-site clinic, you may also have your flu shot from a participating pharmacy or in-network provider for no out-of-pocket cost to you, but at a much higher cost to the State Plan. We recommend that you ask what the provider/pharmacy will charge the plan and choose your best option from there.
