Vaccine Discounts 2023

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Price List was updated in November 2023, highlighting current vaccine prices, and the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program provides vaccines at no cost to qualifying children. Eligible children for VFC vaccines are entitled to receive those vaccines recommended by the U.S. CDC. This CDC table assists VFC providers in understanding the programs' requirements. And UNICEF delivers access to essential vaccines for children at discounted prices worldwide.

The Adult Safety Net program helps anyone 19 or older without health insurance be eligible for low-cost vaccines. You may be charged an administration fee of up to $25 per vaccine. If you cannot pay the price, notify the provider, and you will not be denied vaccination. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 eliminates out-of-pocket costs for vaccines under Medicare Part D. This Act aligns with policies under Medicare Part B and the Affordable Care Act and removes pharmacy counter barriers that should result in more seniors being vaccinated. Consumers can also visit BeSafeRx to learn how to buy medicine online safely.
