Apple Health COVID-19 vaccine policy update
Despite recent federal-level changes related to vaccines, the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) continues to ensure our vaccine policies are grounded in the best available science, in close partnership with the Washington State Department of Health (DOH).
The Apple Health (Medicaid) COVID-19 vaccine policy has not changed and remains:
- Covered without cost sharing
- At clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies
- For all children over 6 months old, adults, and pregnant individuals
The COVID-19 vaccine remains one of our most effective tools for preventing severe illness from COVID-19.
HCA welcomes announcements about the West Coast Health Alliance’s efforts to ensure that public health recommendations are guided by science. HCA will continue to work closely with the Office of the Governor and the DOH to track, monitor, and implement the recommendations of the Alliance when applicable.
