Description:In September 2023, CDC launched the Bridge Access Program following the FDA authorization of the updated 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccines and the commercialization of these products. Most people living in the U.S. still have access to no-cost COVID-19 vaccines through their private health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid plans. However, there are 25-30 million adults without health insurance and additional adults whose insurance does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs.
CDC’s Bridge Access Program will temporarily provide no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to adults without health insurance and adults with insurance that does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs. CDC has contracted with more than 20,000 retail pharmacy locations nationwide to provide no-cost COVID-19 vaccines. CDC will additionally ship and fund administration of vaccines at safety-net, public health providers designated by state and local health departments – which can include more than 1,400 HRSA-supported health centers and 12,000 other vaccine providers. Providers participating in the Bridge Access Program are contractually obligated to add vaccine availability to vaccines.gov. We expect reported availability to increase in the coming days.
