Bill overview
The Protecting Seniors Through Immunization Act of 2021 aims to improve access to recommended vaccines for Medicare beneficiaries, particularly seniors. It mandates that Medicare & You handbooks include information about vaccine coverage and availability, and ensures that cost-sharing for these vaccines aligns with coverage for vaccines under Medicare Part B. The bill also directs a study to identify barriers to vaccination and recommend legislative and administrative changes to increase vaccination rates and address disparities.
