Register For Your Flu Vaccine Appointment

The Well Wisconsin Program offers workplace flu vaccine clinics because rolling up your sleeve now is better than a nasty illness later. Flu vaccinations are free and voluntary for employees and spouses enrolled in the State Group Health Insurance Program.

Follow the below steps to receive your flu vaccination at your workplace flu vaccine clinic.

  2. Complete the digital consent form.
  3. Present your health insurance ID card at your appointment.

The flu vaccination will protect against the more likely causes of flu illness during the upcoming season, including the H1N1- strain of influenza. The vaccine is preservative-free.

The vaccine is not recommended if you:

  • Are allergic to eggs or egg products
  • Have an active neurological disorder
