Yes. The shingles vaccination is covered. Two different kinds of shingles vaccines are covered: Zostavax (zoster vaccine live), which was first approved by the FDA in 2006 and Shingrix (recombinant zoster vaccine), approved by the FDA in 2017. Zostavax is covered for those age 60 and older, while Shingrix is covered for those age 50 and older. Shingrix is a two-dose regimen. Immunization schedules are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and are subject to change. The state cannot change the age limits for the vaccines.
There are no anticipated changes to the shingles vaccine at this time. Current guidelines can be found under the CDC schedules at cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/shingles/index.html.
