Free Hepatitis A Vaccination
Worksite Clinics Offered by HMAA
You may have heard about the
fish products imported to Oahu that recently tested
positive for hepatitis A. With May being Hepatitis Awareness Month, it is a great time to make sure you have received your Hepatitis A vaccination. HMAA offers free vaccination worksite clinics for Hepatitis A prevention. Vaccines will be administered while supplies last and certain requirements apply.
 Vaccination is given in two separate doses. The second should be administered 6-12 months after the first and is necessary to ensure long-term protection. Employers should schedule clinics for both doses to ensure members are adequately protected. For members who received the first dose in 2016 and have not received the second dose, we recommend they visit their physician or a participating pharmacy, or obtain their second dose at a worksite clinic.- Worksite clinic participants must be at least 14 years old and present proof of eligibility (photo ID, insurance card, and consent form). Participants aged 14 to 17 must also obtain their parent or guardian's consent.
- Prescriptions are not required for HMAA members. HMAA covers the vaccine at 100% without a prescription. Please check with other carriers about their requirements.
To schedule a worksite clinic at no cost, a minimum of 15 participants is required on Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island; Kauai clinics require 25 participants. Reservations below the minimum count will be subject to a $50 fee collected at the clinic. Worksite clinics are not limited to HMAA members; however, Kaiser members are not eligible. Clinicians will bill other health insurance carriers that cover the vaccinations.
Employers interested in hosting a worksite clinic may contact HMAA's Wellness Department at
HMAAwellness@hmaa.com
or (808) 791-7635.
Please provide us with the expected number of participants and two or more preferred date/time options. Scheduling will be based on the clinicians' availability.
If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact your HMAA Account Manager or Sales Support.
