Will my insurance be billed for the COVID-19 vaccine shot?

Currently, there is no charge for the vaccine itself. We may bill your insurance a vaccine administration fee as this helps us support the costs of the public vaccination program. However, you will not be required to make a co-pay at the visit. In addition, you will not receive any bill or “balance bill” from Akron Children’s regardless of whether your insurance pays or not. We will still give you the vaccine at no charge even if you are uninsured or your insurance does not cover the vaccine.
