What about cost?
Many shots for adults are covered under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get your shots at no cost to you.

• If you have Medicare or private insurance, check to find out what’s included in your plan. Ask about the Affordable Care Act.
• If you don’t have insurance, you still may be able to get free shots.
  • Call your state health department to find a free or low-cost vaccination program.
  • Find a health center near you to learn more.
