is the new pneumonia shot covered by medicare? 
In general , Pneumococcal shots are covered 100 % under Medicare for a one-time shot -LRB- it 's usually only needed once in your lifetime anyway -RRB- . It can be covered more than once , but under certain situations -LRB- such as someone who is considered `` high-risk '' -RRB- . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me with any other questions and would like to review plan options under Medicare . Thanks very much .
