After Expiration
JYNNEOS is now routinely covered by insurance. Vaccine for insured individuals, including those covered by SPBP, should be purchased from your vaccine supplier and billed to the patient’s insurance.
The health department has a limited supply of JYNNEOS for uninsured patients. Vaccine obtained from the health department should be used for patients who are uninsured without another source of coverage (e.g. SPBP for people with HIV). 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).
