Medicare drug coverage (Part D) covers the shingles shot (not
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)
or
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance))
.
People with Part D usually pay nothing out of pocket for most vaccines, including the shingles shot.
Part D covers all vaccines that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends, including the vaccines for shingles, RSV, whooping cough, measles, and more. Your Part D plan won’t charge you a copayment or apply a deductible for vaccines ACIP recommends.
