Some states that refused (i.e. failed) to set up their own health care exchanges because they did not want to comply with the ACA have Medicaid programs that do not cover low-income adults. If you were deprived of vaccines as a child then you should be allowed to visit the doctor and schedule a series of vaccinations to catch up without paying a copay. It seems wrong to federally ban something without a federal solution.
There may be ways to get vaccines without coverage that of which I am not aware. How would you even get someone to review your record without being in a network, though? OK, KS, MO, MS, TN, AL, GA, SC, NC, FL, VA, UT, ID, WY, ME, WI, NE and SD have no medicaid coverage for low-income adults [1]. That is probably not a complete list.
