9. I have Medicare A & B ... I am NOT covered for Covid vax.

... although I AM covered for the flu vaccine.

Fortunately, here in MKE WI we have a county program that offers free immunizations for un/under-insured folks. It's a bit of a hassle b/c there are only a few places in the city, they are all (of course) understaffed, and the hours the clinics are open are short, and different for each venue. But it's a great program. I don't know how many cities or counties have a similar program, but it's worth checking. The program here does not seem very well publicized.

The way I understand it, Medicare Part D does cover the Covid vax (Part A is hospital, Part B is doctor visits, labs, etc, and neither cover the Covid vax, Shingles, etc, but do cover flu vax).
