With the advent of H1N1 this year, Health Partners has intensified its efforts to educate members about influenza prevention and treatment. While our educational efforts have included providing information about groups most at risk, we are also advising that members contact their PCP for specific recommendations concerning both seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines. Please encourage vaccination as appropriate during visits with Health Partners and KidzPartners members.

The websites linked below can provide current guidance regarding these vaccinations. We also recommend that you refer regularly to these sites to obtain updates about the regional prevalence of these illnesses, vaccine availability, and other provider issues.
