Inactivated Flu Vaccine for Injection

Washington rates for HCPCS 90655

Supplies an inactivated influenza vaccine — made from killed virus, so it cannot cause flu — given as an injection into a muscle to protect against seasonal influenza. Flu vaccines differ in the dose given, in whether they contain a preservative, and in which age group they are formulated for, and those differences determine which version applies. This covers the vaccine material itself; the visit and the act of giving it are billed separately.
