Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is a healthcare initiative that provides free vaccines to eligible children who might not otherwise afford them. Funded by the government, it ensures children from low-income families, those with Medicaid, or uninsured and underinsured children receive essential immunizations. The program helps prevent serious diseases like measles, mumps, and chickenpox, promoting public health. Healthcare providers enrolled in the VFC program administer these vaccines, making immunizations accessible and affordable, supporting healthy development and community-wide disease prevention.
