VFC (Vaccines for children) program is changing

effective January 1, 2012.

 

After January 1, 2012 due to a cut budget the under-insured children will no longer qualify to receive VFC vaccines in the providers’ office.

 

Those who are under-insured can still receive VFC vaccines but only at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) or Medicare Certified Rural Health Centers (RHC).

 

A patient is considered under-insured when they are insured with a commercial insurance but meet one of the following criteria:

  • No vaccine coverage
  • Insurance only covers certain vaccines
  • Have a maximum yearly limit for vaccines and after that is met there is no vaccine coverage
