View in browser | Distributed by Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS) Following the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) recent action authorizing the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 in children 5 through 11 years of age and a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is reminding eligible consumers that coverage is available without cost-sharing under Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare, and in the commercial market for this critical protection from the virus without cost sharing. As with all vaccines, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine was tested thoroughly in this age group prior to its authorization for emergency use. CMS has released an updated Medicaid, CHIP and BHP COVID-19 Vaccine Administration Coverage, Cost-Sharing, and Reimbursement fact sheet, and will release an updated Coverage and Reimbursement of COVID-19 Vaccines, Vaccine Administration, and Cost Sharing under Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Basic Health Program toolkit in the near future to reflect this and other relevant updates.
