Medicare's Expanded Coverage: Vaccines for COVID, Flu, RSV, and Beyond

Medicare now covers a broader range of vaccinations, including COVID-19, flu, pneumococcal, shingles, RSV, hepatitis A and B, and Tdap. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 made these vaccines available at no cost for people with Medicare prescription drug coverage. However, coverage can be complex, with some vaccines covered by Medicare Part B and others by Part D. Medicare beneficiaries should consult with their healthcare providers and Medicare Advantage plans to determine which vaccines are covered and where to get them.
