Now, it is no cost under Part D.\r\nIt is important to note, the recently approved respiratory syncytial virus RSV vaccine for those adults 60 and over also falls under Part D.\r\nIf you are NOT enrolled in Part D through a stand-alone plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, the RSV vaccine could cost over $300.
