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.
