AI Summary
This bill, the Securing Affordable Vaccines Equally for Seniors Act (SAVE for Seniors Act), amends the CARES Act to clarify that COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use must be covered under Medicare without any cost-sharing for beneficiaries. The bill applies retroactively, meaning that the provision for Medicare coverage of COVID-19 vaccines without cost-sharing was effectively included in the original CARES Act, which was passed in 2020 to provide economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic.
