Your Friday Vaccine Coverage

Vaccines prevent four-five MILLION deaths every year, according to the World Health Organization. Friday Health Plans would like to take the time to discuss the importance of getting vaccinated and the free resources available to YOU with your Friday plan.

Why Get Vaccinated?

Vaccines prevent deaths every year for all age groups from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), influenza, and more. Getting jabbed by a needle may not be your favorite activity, but ensuring you and your family are up to date every year on the protection you need can save you from getting seriously sick. Not all vaccines are created the same way, but each is tested and ensured safe before being released for use. Ask your primary care physician what vaccines are recommended for you. Be sure to share your vaccination history with them during your $0 annual wellness visit.
