Its crazy.  Its covered by Medicare part D, but how much they pay is 
affected by your other expenses for the year.  If you have Medicare 
and something else it gets even more complicated.

They are giving the shots at a lot of pharmacies in Sacramento. 
Don't know how they deal with insurance.

But everyone I know that has ever had shingles would happily have 
paid the entire cost out of pocket to avoid what they've been 
through.
