Program Description
The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program helps provide vaccines to children whose parents or guardians may not be able to afford them. This helps ensure that all children have a better chance of getting their recommended vaccinations on schedule.
Program Requirements
A child is eligible for the VFC program if he or she is younger than 19 years of age and is one of the following:
- Medicaid-eligible
- Uninsured
- Underinsured [1]
- American Indian or Alaska Native
Children whose health insurance covers the cost of vaccinations are not eligible for VFC vaccines, even when a claim for the cost of the vaccine and its administration would be denied for payment by the insurance carrier because the plan’s deductible had not been met.
Contact Information
To locate a VFC provider, contact your state’s VFC Coordinator. They will be able to provide you with a list of doctors enrolled in the VFC program.
Please visit the VFC Program page for more information on how to locate a VFC Provider.
