Flu, COVID-19, RSV — are you protected?

It's important to stay up to date on Medicare-covered vaccines.

Each year, millions of people get sick from serious illnesses like flu, COVID-19 and RSV. Vaccines are your best protection and they're covered by Medicare.

If you're 65 or older, it's especially important to stay up to date on your vaccines:

  • People 65 or older should get an updated 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. If you've recently had COVID-19, you can wait 3 months to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
  • For better protection against flu, the CDC recommends people 65 or older get one of the higher-dose flu vaccines, if available.
  • The CDC recommends the RSV vaccine for people ages 60–74 who are at increased risk, and for everyone 75 or older.

Medicare drug coverage (Part D) also covers vaccines for shingles, tetanus-diphtheria-whooping cough (TDAP), and more at no cost. Talk with your doctor about which vaccines can help you stay healthy this fall and winter!

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team
