Health plans and government programs would cover certain vaccines for free until 2030, even if expert advice changes.
This bill would make sure many health plans and government programs, like Medicare and Medicaid, cover certain vaccines for free. It would cover vaccines that health experts recommended as of October 25, 2024. This coverage would last until around 2030, even if those recommendations are later removed.
Today, coverage for vaccines under most health plans and government programs is generally based on the most current recommendations from health experts, and you might have to pay a share of the cost for some. If a recommendation is removed, coverage might stop. After this bill, many health plans and government programs would be required to cover vaccines that were recommended as of October 25, 2024, without any extra cost, even if those recommendations are later changed or removed, until late 2029 or early 2030.
