2024 Vaccine Coverage Guide

Staying up to date on your vaccinations can reduce your risk of contracting serious illnesses. Your retirement system health plan covers many vaccines to keep you healthy. Some of the vaccines are covered by your medical plan, administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. Other vaccines are covered by your prescription drug plan, administered by Optum Rx. Learn about both in the 2024 Michigan Office of Retirement Services Vaccine Coverage Guide (PDF).
