Stick It to the Flu - Don't Forget to Schedule Your Flu Shot Clinic
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) and the State Health Plan are offering agencies the opportunity to host seasonal flu shot clinics at designated worksites now to Dec. 31, 2013.

Maxim Healthcare Services, a BCBSNC vendor, will send a team to worksites to provide shots to your employees, retirees and dependents covered by the Plan or BCBSNC. Children ages 4 to 17 must have parents with them. Children under 4 must go to a physician for seasonal flu shots. Family members and employees not covered by the Plan or BCBSNC will be charged $30 per seasonal flu shot. For more information on scheduling a flu shot clinic, click here.
