August is National Immunization Awareness
Month (NIAM)!
The goal of NIAM is to increase
awareness about immunizations across the life span, from infants to the
elderly. Getting immunized is a lifelong effort regardless of age, sex, race,
ethnic background or country of origin. As parents prepare their children for
school, students enter college and healthcare workers prepare for the upcoming
flu season, the month of August and NIAM present an excellent opportunity to
remind individuals that they can help protect themselves, their families,
friends and their communities from serious, life-threatening infections by
staying up-to-date with their immunizations.
Medicare helps
beneficiaries with the cost of adult immunizations by providing coverage for
pneumococcal, influenza and hepatitis B vaccines. Medicare covers the cost of
pneumococcal and influenza vaccines and their administration by recognized
providers. No beneficiary co-insurance or co-payment applies and a beneficiary
does not have to meet his or her deductible to receive an influenza or
pneumococcal immunization. Medicare also covers hepatitis B vaccination for
persons at high or intermediate risk. The coinsurance or co-payment applies for
hepatitis B vaccination after the yearly deductible has been met.
