Good news: More vaccines covered at no cost to you!

Here’s a new announcement from Medicare.gov:

Medicare will pay for more vaccines

 

We.ve got good  news to share!

Thanks to the Prescription Drug Law that went into effect this year, even more vaccines are free for people with Medicare Part D – an average savings of up to $80 in out-of-pocket costs each year.

This means more people with Medicare being protected against disease and severe illness.

Examples of vaccines now covered under Medicare Part D include:

  • Shingles
  • Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td)
  • Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap)
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B

Flue shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and pneumococcal shots are still covered by Medicare.

Serious diseases can impact our health and quality of life. That’s why it’s so important to stay up-to-date with vaccines. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines are right for you!

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team
