South Carolina Medicaid: Flu information

According to the Centers for Disease Control¹, almost everyone age 6 months and up should get a flu vaccine, especially:

• Children younger than 5
• Adults 65 and older
• Pregnant women
• Anyone with a weakened immune system or chronic condition (like COPD or congestive heart failure)

• As a Humana Healthy Horizons^® in South Carolina member, your yearly flu vaccine is free
• Eligible members can earn rewards for getting a flu vaccine through Go365 for Humana Healthy Horizons^®
• Even healthy people should get the vaccine – “Healthy” people, without showing symptoms, can still get sick, carry the flu virus, or spread the flu to someone else
• Get your flu vaccine every year – Flu virus strains change and vaccine protection declines over time, so last year’s vaccine may not protect you from getting sick this year
• You can’t get the flu from getting the flu vaccine
• Egg-free flu vaccines are available – If you’re allergic to eggs, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if the egg-free alternative is right for you
• Flu vaccination by nasal spray is sometimes available

Go365 for Humana Healthy Horizons^® is a wellness program that offers you the opportunity to earn rewards for taking healthy actions, such as getting an annual flu shot.

For each eligible Go365 activity completed, you can earn rewards and then redeem the rewards for gift cards in the Go365 in-app mall. Learn more .

• Use our Find Care service
• Call Member Services at 866-432-0001 (TTY: 711), Monday – Friday, from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m., Eastern time
