Does Health Insurance Cover Shingles Vaccine? 
Yes . In fact , under the preventive care requirements of the Affordable Care Act -LRB- ObamaCare -RRB- vaccination against Herpes Zoster -LRB- the fancy name for shingles -RRB- is required to be covered at 100 % . So , unless you are covered under some old , grandfathered health plan -LRB- of which there are n't a whole lot left -RRB- that excluded coverage for this vaccination you should be good to go . But any newer health insurance plan that is compliant with the Affordable Care Act since its passage in 2010 should cover this vaccination . While my focus is on the under age-65 health insurance marketplace , my understanding is that Medicare coverage for this vaccination may be a different proposition . So , if the questioner is in the Medicare arena you will want to inquire further about this issue .
