Order flu vaccine now
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted April 26, 2004
Physicians should begin to order supplies of influenza vaccine immediately to ensure availability early this fall, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said. Last year, a huge demand for the vaccine in October led to shortages.
Medicare reimbursement for flu vaccine will continue to be 95% of the average wholesale price.
