Medicare Part B covers many preventative services including important vaccines for influenza, pneumonia, shingles, and hepatitis B. If beneficiaries meet eligibility guidelines, they must be allowed access to these covered preventative services regardless of whether they have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan. Getting recommended vaccines is an important part of maintaining health as people age and can also help protect the health of family and friends.

The coverage of Preventive Care is one of the most vital parts of
Medicare’s role in keeping beneficiaries healthy. Medicare Part B covers
many preventative services, such as screenings, vaccines and counseling.
If you meet the eligibility requirements and guidelines for a
preventative service, you must be allowed that service. This is true for
both Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans (MA), however
coverage rules may apply.
Getting vaccines is an integral part of ensuring you maintain your
health as you get older, and they can also safeguard the health of your
family and friends. If you know someone who may not be vaccinated,
share this important information with them so they can take the steps
towards protecting themselves.
