Bummer. Cost of shingles shot is not covered

[Hoyt]

35. Wrong. Original Medicare does not cover the shingles vaccine.

"Original Medicare does not cover the shingles vaccine, but Medicare Part D generally covers a shingles vaccine. You must get Medicare Part D coverage through a private health insurance company."

Shingles shots

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) or Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) doesn't cover the shingles shot.

Generally, Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D) cover all commercially available vaccines (like the shingles shot) needed to prevent illness. Contact your Medicare drug plan for more information about coverage.
