Can vaccination providers charge or bill for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine?
No. 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine and ancillary supplies (syringes, needles, sharps containers, and alcohol swabs) have been purchased by the federal government and provided free of charge to all providers participating in this voluntary vaccination effort. Therefore, it will not be permissible to charge for the 2009 H1N1 vaccine itself.
