Blue Cross and Blue Shield Companies Statement on Vaccines

WASHINGTON - Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies are committed to ensuring access to vaccines that protect individuals and communities from serious illness. The decision to receive a vaccine is made between patients and their health care providers and we remain committed to maintaining rigorous, evidence-based processes to evaluate coverage policies.

BCBS companies will continue covering all immunizations that were recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on January 1, 2025, with no cost-sharing through 2026, while operating within federal and state laws and meeting program and customer requirements.
