Seasonal and preventive vaccines are part of the pharmacy benefit for those over age 18.
Those under age 18 should continue to receive their vaccines through the medical benefit at their doctor's office or at one of the pharmacies in Aetna's Expanded Vaccine Network. The pharmacies should be reminded to bill Aetna instead of AetnaRx so your medical benefit covers the vaccine.
The flu vaccine can help prevent tens of thousands of hospitalizations and millions of illnesses and flu-related doctor visits each year. As a UVA employee, you can receive the vaccine at no cost, and getting vaccinated is convenient, with walk-in opportunities at multiple locations around Grounds and a range of clinic times to fit your schedule.
Answer a few questions about your UVA employment and work location to understand whether the 2026 flu vaccination requirement applies to you.
