VFC (Vaccines for Children) Program

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is a U.S. federal initiative that provides free vaccines to eligible children who might not otherwise be able to afford them. Administered through participating healthcare providers, it ensures that children from low-income families, those with certain insurance gaps, or affected by specific health conditions can access recommended immunizations. The program aims to improve vaccination rates, prevent the spread of preventable diseases, and promote public health equity by covering the costs of vaccines, administration, and related services for eligible children.
