What Does the VFC Program Offer Parents?

Vaccines at no cost for eligible children through VFC-enrolled doctors. Find out if your child qualifies. VFC helps ensure that all children have a better chance of getting their recommended vaccinations on schedule and that means healthier children, families, and communities.

Why Become a VFC Provider?

Participating in VFC reduces your out of pocket costs because you don’t have to buy vaccine for your eligible patients with your own money. And, VFC will save your eligible patients money because the vaccines are provided at no cost.
