Bank of America Partners with CVS to Provide Free Flu Shots

Health officials predict much higher rates of reported flu cases this fall, due in part to higher levels of susceptibility and risk. With flu season fast approaching, we are reminded of disparities in access to preventative care that are prevalent in lower-income households and underserved communities, in particular communities of color.

To help bridge this health resource gap, Bank of America is partnering with CVS Health to fund free flu shots in underserved communities.

The no-cost flu shot voucher program to support Detroit-area residents will be made available through local Bank of America nonprofit partners: Alternatives for Girls, COTS, Focus: Hope, SER Metro Detroit, and United Way. Free flu shot vouchers will be available at these organizations and must be redeemed by March 2022. The vouchers can be accessed by reaching out to one of the participating organizations or your local CVS.

The vouchers clearly outline the redemption process and the importance of getting a flu shot and will be available in both English and Spanish.

This is the second year that Bank of America and CVS Health have offered the no-cost flu shot program. This effort is part of the bank’s ongoing commitment to address health disparities in the communities it serves.

Bank of America’s support of the flu shot voucher program builds on its ongoing health investments in local communities, and is part of the bank’s efforts to advance racial equality and economic opportunity for people of color through a $1.25 billion, five-year commitment.
