Most major insurers, including UnitedHealthcare, have confirmed they will also ensure that these shots remain free for standard commercial coverage, which encompasses plans available for individuals and small businesses. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated that the recent committee vote provides for immunization coverage through all payment mechanisms. On Friday, a panel of vaccine advisers appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. refrained from making a specific recommendation for the vaccines. Both CVS and Walgreens have indicated that they will inquire about any high-risk factors for patients under 65, although proof of such conditions will not be necessary. Instead, they indicated that individuals should make personal choices regarding vaccination. It is also noted that the list of high-risk conditions is not all-encompassing.
