Staying Up to Date On Vaccines

August 29, 2023, 5:33 pm

More people with Medicare, Medicare Part D, and Medicare Advantage Plans can get protection against disease and severe illness by staying up to date with immunizations with no out of pocket costs.

Medicare Part D now covers these vaccines and more at no cost to you:

• Shingles
• RSV
• Tetanus/diphtheria (Td)
• Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) (Tdap)
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B, if you’re at low risk for the virus

Medicare still covers flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and pneumococcal shots as well.

Talk with your doctor about which vaccines are right for you.
