Vaccines for the Uninsured Adult Act of 2008

The Vaccines for the Uninsured Adult Act of 2008 would establish a federal program to provide free vaccines to adults without health insurance through state programs and community health centers. For individuals with coverage, the bill would eliminate out-of-pocket costs for vaccines under Medicaid and require federal employee health plans to provide immunization coverage. Additionally, it directs the government to create national plans for managing vaccine shortages and improving public education regarding adult vaccinations.
