Get Protection from the Flu

Flu shots are especially important for people with cancer or a history of cancer because they are at high risk of developing serious flu complications even when vaccinated.

Some older adults (65 years and older) may have a weaker immune response to flu vaccines. This can make them more likely to get sick with the flu or get flu complications even when vaccinated.

A high-dose flu vaccine is recommended for people who are 65 or older for a better immune response and better protection against the flu. For more information, visit Specific Flu Shots for People 65 and Older.

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers many preventive services like the flu shot and screening services for cancers, like lung cancer.
