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. This year, Marvell will only host clinics at offices where a drive-thru option is permitted or feasible due to weather. Currently, drive-thru clinics are scheduled for Santa Clara and Irvine for employees and dependents (age 3+) enrolled in a Marvell medical insurnace plan. More information on these clinics can be found below.
All other 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.

Santa Clara and Irvine Clinics
To encourage the health and safety of employees, Marvell will be offering an onsite drive-thru flu shot clinic providing free preservative-free quadrivalent vaccines for employees and dependents (age 3+) enrolled in a Marvell medical insurance plan.
For a safe and smooth experience, please follow the clinic rules:
- Irvine Clinic: October 14 & 15
- Santa Clara Clinic: November 17, 18, 19, 20
- Employees must reserve an appointment online by November 13 (Santa Clara) or October 12 (Irvine) to manage traffic and obey social distancing guidelines. Employees without an appointment will be turned away, and no day-of appointments will be offered.
- Everyone in the car must be wearing a mask (children under 2 are not required to wear a mask).
- You must stay in your car and may not enter the building. Should you have a compelling need to access the campus, please arrange to do so on an alternate day and follow health reporting protocols.
- Employees must bring their Marvell badge to enter the drive-thru clinic.
- Employees and dependents must be enrolled in Marvell’s medical plan (Anthem or Kaiser) to participate. Children must be at least 3 years old to participate in the drive-thru clinic.
- If you are not well on the day of the clinic, please cancel your appointment and wait until you are feeling well to receive a flu shot.
- Please be patient – this is our first year hosting a drive-thru clinic. We will do our best to make this an efficient process but expect to spend 30 minutes at the clinic (including 15 minutes after the vaccine to wait before driving away in case of adverse effects).
