I appreciate you pointing this out as she will get her 2nd shot in a month or so, and we will know to ask more insurance questions.
We have scheduled flu shots for October 1st.
If you have Medicare Part B and a Medicare supplement, the pneumonia vaccine should be covered in full. Part B should also cover the flu vaccine. You shouldn't need Part D at all.
