PROTECT YOURSELF: FIGHT THE FLU
The CDC has issued guidance that getting a flu shot is more important than ever in 2020 – 2021 to protect yourself from the flu and to help reduce strain on healthcare systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information about CDC recommendations on who should receive a flu vaccine, effectiveness of the vaccine, and potential side effects, please visit the CDC website.
Historically, Marvell has hosted onsite flu shot clinics at most offices. In 2020, Marvell hosted clinics at offices where a drive-thru option is permitted or feasible due to weather. Decisions regarding onsite flu shot clinics for 2021 will be made later in the year and communicated in early fall.
All Marvell employees may receive a free flu shot through their health insurance.
If you are enrolled in a Marvell health insurance plan, you can receive a free flu shot from in-network providers, clinics, or pharmacies. Please see below for information specific to each health plan.
For employees not enrolled in a Marvell health insurance plan, please note that all health insurance plans are required to provide flu shots at no cost to members, but your insurance may have rules on where you can go for a free shot. Please contact your health insurance provider for more information.
Please direct any questions to the HR Service Now portal under category “Flu Shots.”
