COVID-19 vaccines are billed by manufacturer, and each season's formula gets its own code, so the same brand can be listed under several codes in a hospital's file. Giving the shot is billed separately from the dose. Who can get the vaccine and whether insurance pays for it have changed from one season to the next, so check the CDC's current schedule before you book.
