COVID-19 Vaccine Policies & Guidance

We’re giving you the information you need to be ready for the COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available. If we can prepare a wide pool of providers to administer the COVID-19 vaccine, then we can ensure the vaccine is covered and available free of charge for every American.

“We want to make sure that as the FDA is getting approvals for new medications, we are paying for these innovative treatments appropriately. We’re working across the entire agency — not just Medicare but Medicaid and even private insurers — to ensure there are no barriers to individuals getting vaccines.”
