How Do You Pay for
Vaccines?
Payment for vaccinations for adults may have changed for you since the measures to cover vaccinations during the pandemic lapsed. To understand vaccination coverage, you need to understand what type of insurance you have. If you do not have insurance coverage, there may also be programs that will cover most if not all the cost of your vaccinations.
Free or Not?
Vaccinations and boosters are necessary for adults throughout life. Vaccines are typically paid for by your insurance. If you aren’t currently covered by healthcare insurance, go to the Uninsured button below. Vaccines are usually covered or there is only a small copay to get your immunization (HHS).
Children’s vaccinations are usually covered by whichever insurer covers your child’s well visits to their pediatrician’s office. Private insurers, the Vaccines for Children Program, Medicaid and other state-based programs (check your state’s public health office) may provide coverage for children’s vaccines.
