After Expiration

While our JYNNEOS vaccine availability is currently limited, we recommend providers prioritize vaccinating the uninsured and underinsured population, as other mechanisms exist to purchase vaccine for private payers.

Vaccines can be purchased through:

• HRSA grant and Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funding may be used to purchase JYNNEOS vaccine
• 340B Prime Vendor Program offers reduced prices to eligible providers sites (e.g., FQHCs)

Insurance Reimbursement

• Medicaid/Medicare – full coverage for all beneficiaries within ACIP recommended populations.  
• Commercial Insurance:
  • Expect private plans to fully cover within ACIP recommendations.
  • Plans obligated to cover one year following ACIP recommendation. 

Retail Pharmacy Vaccine Access

Appointments are now available at several pharmacy chains (e.g., CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens).

• Rite Aid Vaccine Scheduler 
• CVS Vaccine Scheduler 
• Walgreens Vaccine Scheduler
