Homeland Health commended for its around-the-clock efforts to redirect its flu vaccine to Minnesota’s most vulnerable citizens

(EAGAN, Minn. Oct. 8, 2004) — “Homeland Health should be commended for its around- the-clock efforts to redirect its flu vaccine to Minnesota’s most vulnerable citizens. They’ve worked to cancel hundreds of worksite flu shot clinics that Blue Cross makes available for its customers and have coordinated with the Minnesota Department of Health to instead schedule flu clinics for at-risk Minnesotans through county and city health departments,” said Georgia Pavoloni, FluStop coordinator for Blue Cross.

“Homeland Health is a low cost provider of flu vaccine, in a market which typically charges $20-25 per vaccination apart from insurance, even before the flu vaccine shortage was announced.”

“Blue Cross is proud to work with Homeland to redirect its own supply of vaccine during this time of need.”

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, with headquarters in the St. Paul suburb of Eagan, was chartered in 1933 as Minnesota’s first health plan and continues to carry out its charter mission today: to promote a wider, more economical and timely availability of health services for the people of Minnesota. A not-for-profit, taxable organization, Blue Cross is the largest health plan based in Minnesota, covering 2.6 million members in Minnesota and nationally through its health plans or plans administered by its affiliated companies. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, headquartered in Chicago.
