Seattle Children’s is providing influenza vaccinations to inpatients and outpatients. Patients will be screened for eligibility. Seattle Children’s is also offering influenza vaccination to Emergency Department and Urgent Care patients. All vaccinations given to patients are documented in the Child Profile Immunization Registry.
We are providing flu shot vouchers to patients’ family members and household contacts age 3 and older during patient visits and stays.
-
- Families in Washington or Idaho: The vouchers can be used at Rite Aid or Bartell Drugs (owned by Rite Aid) with no out-of-pocket cost. Rite Aid or Bartell Drugs will bill family members’ insurance, if available, and charge any remaining balance to Seattle Children’s. Families can also download the voucher from seattlechildrens.org.
- Families in Alaska or Montana: The vouchers can be used at CVS in Alaska and Montana only with no out-of-pocket cost. CVS will bill family members’ insurance, if available, and charge any remaining balance to Seattle Children’s. Families can also download the voucher from seattlechildrens.org.
Family members and household contacts ages 6 months to 35 months will need to get their flu vaccine at their primary care provider’s office.
Seattle Children’s efforts to vaccinate patients are in accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to increase access to the vaccine in healthcare settings.
