Vaccine Cost
For people with health insurance, most plans will cover COVID-19 vaccine at no cost to you.
People who have Medicare or Medicaid should also have the cost of their vaccine covered.
People who don’t have health insurance or with health plans that do not cover the cost can get the new COVID shots for free at community health centers: state, local, tribal, or territorial health department. Also, for adults who are uninsured or underinsured, the CDC has something called the Bridge Access Program which will allow adults to access shots for free at participating pharmacies, including Walgreens and CVS locations, as well as local health clinics.
Children who are underinsured should automatically be covered by the Vaccines for Children program, which covers vaccines that are recommended by ACIP.
