Does Medicare D Cover Shingles Shot? 
Some vaccines are covered by Medicare , some are not . The herpes zoster -LRB- chicken pox -RRB- vaccine is one that is covered and is not . If the vaccine is administered in your doctors office , Medicare will not cover the actual cost of the vaccine if billed by your doctor . You must purchase the vaccine under Part D at a pharmacy . You can then transport the vaccine to your doctor so they can inject you . Makes complete sense , right ?
