Ensuring Vaccination and Treatment Affordability Act This bill requires COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) vaccines and treatment, as well as treatment for conditions that may complicate COVID-19 treatment, to be covered without cost-sharing under the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Medicaid. Additionally, the bill includes vaccines for COVID-19 in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program.
