An Annual Flu Shot: No. 1 on Your Health To-Do List
One of the most important things you can do to stay healthy is to receive a flu vaccine every year. It is covered as a preventive health benefit at no charge to True Health New Mexico members.
You can receive your flu shot at no charge at any in-network pharmacy or at your primary care provider's office. Search for a pharmacy in your area that provides flu shots. It's a good idea to call the pharmacy or doctor's office first to make sure the vaccine is available, and take your True Health New Mexico ID card with you.
Ask Me 3®: Three Questions to Help You Understand Your Healthcare
Health information is not clear at times. The Ask Me 3 program run by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement can help. The program gives you three questions to ask your health care provider during a health care visit, either for yourself or for a loved one. They are:
- What is my main problem?
- What do I need to do?
- Why is it important for me to do this?
Asking questions can help you take an active role in your healthcare. Download or print this PDF to remind you or a family member what questions to ask.
