What Could Happen: ACIP, CDC, and Insurance Coverage of Vaccines

Examine whether people could lose access to no-cost health insurance coverage for vaccines.

View in browser NEW & NOTEWORTHY ACIP, CDC, and Insurance Coverage of Vaccines: What Could Happen Following the Trump administration's announcements related to vaccine recommendations and the process by which those are made, KFF examines whether people could lose access to no-cost health insurance coverage for vaccines if the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) or the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend against vaccination for the public. The brief provides an overview of vaccine coverage requirements by payer/program. Currently, private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid require no-cost coverage of vaccines—a requirement connected to recommendations made by ACIP and CDC. If these recommendations are narrowed or removed, people could have to pay for vaccines out-of-pocket going forward.
