VTrckS Benefits

VTrckS, which stands for Vaccine Tracking System, is an application that allows grantees to order and manage VFC (Vaccines for Children) and publicly-funded vaccines efficiently.  VTrckS combines vaccine ordering, forecasting, budget management, and contract management into one application.  VTrckS replaces several CDC legacy systems: VACMAN, VOFA, and NIPVAC, with a modern online system. There are three groups of VTrckS users: Grantees (state, city, and territorial immunization programs that receive federal funding for vaccine purchases), Providers (health care providers that administer vaccines as part of the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program), and the CDC.

Grantees can:
