Wisconsin Immunization Program
Vaccines for
Children Program (VFC)
The VFC Program, which operationally began October 1, 1994,
represents an unprecedented approach to improving vaccine
availability nationwide by providing vaccine at no cost to VFC-eligible
children through enrolled public and private providers.
The VFC Program:
-
Provides
public purchased vaccine, for eligible children, at no
charge to VFC
enrolled public and private providers;
-
Automatically
covers vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices (ACIP) and approved by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC);
-
Saves parents
and enrolled providers out-of-pocket expenses for vaccine;
-
Eliminates or
reduces vaccine cost as a barrier to vaccinating eligible
children;
-
Encourages
keeping children in their medical home for comprehensive
health care.
