FAQs

Many insurance plans will cover vaccinations. To ensure coverage, contact your insurance provider.

Medicare Part B covers preventive care vaccines for flu, COVID-19, pneumonia and hepatitis B at no cost. Medicare Part D covers preventive care vaccines for shingles and Tdap at no cost. Certain other vaccines, such as vaccines used for treatment purposes or vaccines not recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), may be covered with cost sharing. Visit Medicare.gov to learn more.

Vaccines go through years of testing as required by law and are continuously monitored for safety and efficacy once licensed and in use. U.S. teams of physicians, scientists and public health experts closely monitor any adverse effects that might occur after a vaccination and respond as necessary, to ensure vaccines are held to the highest safety standards.

Many school systems now require fifth and sixth graders to receive a Tdap immunization. Meningitis vaccinations are also required by some colleges before incoming freshmen are allowed to move into dorms or attend classes. To find out what vaccines are required for your individual situation, please contact your local school district or specific college.

You may experience mild side effects after receiving a vaccine. Most side effects are mild (for example, a sore arm or low-grade fever) and go away within a few days. More information on each vaccination is available on the specific vaccine health pages. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/side-effects.htm

There are some people who should not get certain vaccines or should wait to get them due to age, specific health conditions or other factors. It’s always a good idea to discuss with your health care provider the vaccinations you are considering.

Unvaccinated people can be at risk if exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases. Symptoms and complications of such diseases can be serious and even life-threatening.

Whether you’re looking for flu, pneumonia, whooping cough or meningitis vaccinations, we can help. CVS offers vaccines for children, adolescents, teens and adults, plus certain injections for adults.

A vaccination refers to the process of receiving a vaccine whereas an immunization refers to the process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination.

A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm

Active immunity results when someone is exposed to a disease organism that triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Passive immunity is provided when someone is given antibodies to a disease.
