Two New Vaccines Medicare Covers Two New Vaccines in 2023

Shingles and Tdap (tetanus/ diphtheria) vaccines are free for anyone with Medicare Drug Coverage (Medicare Advantage or free-standing Part D) at the pharmacy only.

All Medicare beneficiaries with Part B coverage can still receive flu, pneumococcal, hepatitis B (medium or high risk patients) and COVID-19 vaccines at the hospital, pharmacy, Mesa County Public Health Department or in the doctor’s office. Prior to receiving any vaccine, ALWAYS check with your provider to make sure it is covered under your insurance.
