Immunizations

Important immunizations at your pharmacy may be free

Preventing a disease is easier and cheaper than treating one. Immunizations can protect you and your loved ones from serious diseases, prevent the spread to others, and reduce the severity of symptoms. As a member of Arkansas Blue Cross, you can get many important immunizations at your local in-network pharmacy for no cost1.

Here's how it works

1. Check the list of covered immunizations.

2. Go to your local in-network pharmacy.

3. Tell the pharmacist what immunization you need.

4. Get immunized.3

To avoid paying out of pocket, make sure:

  • You visit an in-network pharmacy
  • Check the immunization is covered under your prescription drug plan.
