Will the Affordable Care Act cover my flu shot?
Flu and other vaccines are required to be covered by your health insurance without charging a copayment or coinsurance.
But, it’s important to be sure to check with your insurance company to find out if you must go to a specific facility to receive the vaccine. Some insurance plans only cover vaccines given by your doctor or at a limited set of locations.
