HPSJ Expands Access to Flu Vaccine
Due to concerns about possible concurrent contracting of Covid-19 and Flu, Health Plan of San Joaquin has expanded access for members to receive the protections of this year’s flu shot. As of Nov 9, 2020, any HPSJ Member can get their flu shot from any HPSJ contracted provider.

  • For Members 19 years and older: providers will be reimbursed for both the vaccine and administration; members can get the flu vaccine at the doctor’s office or pharmacy.
  • For children under 19 years: providers will be reimbursed only for administration; the vaccine is provided via VFC (Vaccines for Children Program).

Please note:
For HPSJ members not being seen by their assigned provider, this expanded access applies only to influenza vaccination and not to any additional services and benefits.

Pushing Back on a COVID Winter
From your positions of trust, please join HPSJ in continuing to promote safe behaviors throughout the holidays.That includes celebrating with just those already in the household and connecting virtually with others.
