WASHINGTON – Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) companies consistently hear that members want continued access to vaccines, and that health care providers value clear guidance on coverage and payment.
To provide certainty, continuity and peace of mind, BCBS companies will continue the commitment we made in 2025, to cover all ACIP-recommended (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) immunizations with no cost sharing through 2027, while operating within federal and state laws and meeting program and customer requirements.
As always, decisions regarding vaccinations are made between patients and their health care providers, and BCBS companies will continue to apply rigorous, evidence-based processes when evaluating coverage policies.
