Flu Shots: There’s Still Time to Protect Your Patients

Vaccination rates for Medicare Fee-for-Service patients vary by race, ethnicity, and geographic area (see data snapshot (PDF)). During National Influenza Vaccination Week, encourage your patients to get flu shots, and find out how you can help reduce vaccination disparities.
