Some vaccines are covered by Medicare, some are not.
The herpes zoster (chicken pox) vaccine is one that is covered and is not.
If the vaccine is administered in your doctors office, Medicare will not cover the actual cost of the vaccine if billed by your doctor. You must purchase the vaccine under Part D at a pharmacy. You can then transport the vaccine to your doctor so they can inject you.
