From Medicare.gov:
Tdap shot (tetanus, diphtheria, & pertussis shot)
How often is it covered?
Tdap is the adolescent and adult booster shot for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (also called whooping cough). The childhood shot is called DTaP. Both protect against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough).
Generally, Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) covers all commercially available shots needed to prevent illness. Contact your Medicare drug plan for more information about coverage.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I read this to say that the coverage for the cost of the shot is determined by the provider of your prescription drug plan, not Medicare A or B. Depending on who you have for Part D, "your mileage may vary." Generally, this is as described by the OP.
