Shingles shots
Medicare drug coverage (Part D) covers the shingles shot
Description
Shingles shots (vaccines) help protect against the varicella-zoster virus that cause shingles, a painful skin rash.
Costs
You usually pay nothing for the shingles shot if you have Part D .
Part D covers all adult vaccines that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends, including the vaccines for shingles, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), whooping cough, measles, and more. Your Part D plan won’t charge you a copayment or apply a deductible for vaccines ACIP recommends.
