Vaccines do an incredible job of protecting you from serious diseases like COVID, flu, whooping cough and measles. Vaccine-preventable diseases have not gone away. Consider getting vaccinated to keep your grandchildren safe as well. The UK reported a 250% increase in cases of whooping cough this year. Pertussis, also called whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can cause serious illness, especially in babies and children.

Part D covers all vaccines that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends, including vaccines for RSV, shingles, whooping cough, and more. Your drug plan won't charge you a copayment or deductible for vaccines that ACIP recommends.
