Influenza vaccination; to require private health insurance and the Alabama Medicaid program to pay or reimburse for influenza shots

Summary

The bill forces all private health benefit plans and the state Medicaid program to cover influenza vaccines when given by a licensed health‑care provider, including the cost of the shot and the administration. It leaves the decision to receive or refuse the vaccine to the individual, parent or legal guardian. The aim is to improve access to flu shots, especially in rural and underserved communities.
