Sequestration Forces Air Force To Limit Free Flu Shots

Sequestration Forces Air Force To Limit Free Flu Shots: WASHINGTON -- The Air Force will no longer be giving free flu shots to civilian employees this year, due to the federal budget cuts known as sequestration.

Last year, 12,000 employees were vaccinated under the Air Force's program, free of charge. Now, only beneficiaries of TRICARE, the Defense Department health system, will be eligible, along with members of the military, their families and military retirees.
