Available at no cost: Flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines

Make sure you're up to date on Medicare-covered vaccines.

MEDICARE'S GOT YOUR VACCINES COVERED

Are you protected against flu, COVID-19 and RSV? It's important to stay up to date on Medicare-covered vaccines. Vaccines can lower your risk of getting really sick, and their side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Here's how to stay up to date on your vaccines:

  • For better protection against flu, the CDC recommends people 65 or older get one of the higher-dose flu vaccines, if available.

  • People 65 or older should get 2 doses of the updated 2024– 2025 COVID-19 vaccine, spaced 6 months apart. Consider getting the 2nd dose sooner if you have upcoming travel, life events, and health care visits.

  • Everyone 75 or older, and people ages 60–74 who are at increased risk, should get the RSV vaccine. RSV isn't an annual vaccine. If you've already gotten an RSV vaccine, you don't need to get another one at this time. 

Remember, 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 winter!

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team
