Here is the info right from the horses' mouth - so to speak - CMS is the government's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This specific is about 3/4 down the page but there is other important info in this fact sheet too - so you might want to read all of it. I am only copying and pasting what you are asking about specifically here.
Remember this BEGINS in 2023.
CMS.gov - 10/05/2022 - FACT SHEET - The Inflation Reduction Act Lowers Health Care Costs for Million...
QUOTE:
The Inflation Reduction Act improves coverage and lowers out-of-pocket costs of recommended vaccines in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
- People with Medicare drug coverage will pay nothing out-of-pocket for adult vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), including the shingles and Tetanus-Diphtheria-Whooping Cough vaccines, starting in 2023.
- Most adults enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program will be guaranteed coverage of ACIP-recommended vaccines at no cost to them, beginning October 1, 2023.
And here it is described on Medicare.gov

QUOTE:
Better access to vaccines
Starting in 2023, people with Medicare Part D drug coverage will pay nothing out-of-pocket for even more vaccines, including the shingles vaccine, that are recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Now if you want to know which vaccines are recommended and covered (either under Medicare Part B or Part D depending on which one it is) - here is the ADULT list from the ACIP/CDC.

NOW COST HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE EXCUSES NOT TO GET THEM.
