President Joe Biden’s administration is already paying pediatricians to provide “vaccine counseling” to parents, and according to a new Washington Post report, the program could’ve been much broader.
In December 2021, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it would begin covering vaccine counseling for COVID-19 to parents through Medicaid, which covers over 40% of children in the United States. According to a report out Monday from The Washington Post, top health officials wanted the plan to cover all Americans on Medicare or Medicaid, but Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Xavier Becerra nixed the plan.
