Hey guys my cousin has Medicaid, the UPMC For You plan. Called but couldn't get a hold of anyone. He was wondering if the new Bivalent Covid vaccine is covered? He already has had 3 shots. The initial two in April/May 2021 and then a booster in February 2022. He's 25 yr old male.

Covid vaccines are still free regardless of insurance status, though that may be ending as soon as January.

Though I won't be surprised if the Covid boosters end up being classified as among the vaccines that private insurers must cover 100% once the government purchase program ends.
