No. Your plan covers the COVID-19 vaccine in full when you receive it from providers in your plan’s network, so you won’t have to pay cost sharing. If you get the vaccine during a regular doctor’s visit or at an urgent care center, you may have to pay cost sharing for the visit itself. Check your plan documents for details.
If you do not receive your pharmacy coverage through your Harvard Pilgrim plan, refer to your pharmacy plan documents for details.

As always, check with your primary care provider if you have questions or specific health concerns.
