Medicare Part D covers most vaccines and immunizations. However, there are certain vaccinations that are always covered by Part B:
Influenza (flu) shots, including both the seasonal flu vaccine and the H1NI (swine flu) vaccine
Pneumococcal (pneumonia) shots
Hepatitis B shots
COVID-19 vaccine

No mention of shingles, but "most vaccines" should include that.
