All TRICARE plans cover the influenza vaccine, with beneficiaries and retirees eligible to receive a shot in one of two ways:

Visit a TRICARE network pharmacy. Find one at https://militaryrx.express-scripts.com/find-pharmacy or by calling (877) 363-1303; be sure to contact the pharmacy in advance to find out when they are administrating the vaccine and to ensure the pharmacist gives it – if an on-site clinic administers it, the vaccine may not be covered, according to vaccine information on TRICARE’s website.

Visit a TRICARE provider. The shot will be covered, but you will be charged a co-payment or cost share for the visit.
