PREVNAR 20® may be available at no cost
Vaccines for your baby, like PREVNAR 20, are considered a preventive care 
service and may be available at no charge.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA)* requires new health insurance plans to cover preventive care services. Patients who visit a doctor who is a part of their health plan will not pay a deductible, copayment, or coinsurance cost.
If you do not have insurance or are enrolled in Medicaid, the Vaccines for Children (VFC)* program may be able to help. The VFC program is a program paid for by the government that provides vaccines at no cost to children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because they are not able to pay. The vaccines are given for free. But there might be other costs, such as payment for the visit or other services.
