Does TRICARE cover flu shots?
Yes. What you pay depends on your plan and where you get the vaccine.
Note: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) includes the FluMist nasal spray flu vaccine in its annual flu vaccine recommendations. You may get the COVID-19 vaccine and the flu vaccine at the same time.
