Flu Vaccination Clinics
The State offers all covered members flu shots at State-sponsored clinics each year. A complete list of all clinics is available here.
If you cannot attend one of the scheduled Flu Vaccination Clinics, call our local DOH Offices and make an appointment to receive your flu shot. A listing of our offices is available here.
The health plan will pay for the cost of the vaccine and the administration fee for members who choose to receive the influenza vaccine at a State-sponsored clinic. Vaccines received at a medical provider or pharmacy must be from a Wellmark participating provider to be covered by the plan. Flu Vaccinations are offered to the following groups covered by the health plan:
– State Employees
– Covered spouses
– Covered dependent children (six months and older)
– COBRA members under age 65

Not all counties have a flu vaccine clinic set up. Employees can also receive a flu vaccine from one of the offices on this list: https://doh.sd.gov/topics/mch/public-health-nursing-offices/
Flu vaccinations are safe and the best way to protect yourself from flu; by getting immunized, you are also protecting more vulnerable individuals, such as infants and the elderly, who are very susceptible to serious illness from influenza.
Influenza is a viral respiratory illness marked by the sudden onset of fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. It spreads when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, sending the highly contagious virus into the air. Learn more at http://flu.sd.gov.
