Description: 

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) urged Americans aged 65 and older to get their flu shots soon. The Medicare program will cover payment for these shots, and the ideal time to get them is in October or November. There has been a shortage of flu vaccine this year, but adults age 65 and over are being given priority.
