The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) supplies federally
purchased free vaccines for immunizing eligible children in
public and private practices - at no cost to participating private
health care providers. Approximately 60 percent of U.S. children
may be expected to benefit from the VFC Program. Patients through age
18 are eligible if they are:
-
enrolled in Medicaid or The Oregon Health Plan;
-
uninsured; or
-
American Indian/Alaskan Native.
Oregon's VFC Program was designed by a coalition of private and
public sector health care professionals. The program aims to help
Oregon reach its goal of having 90 percent of our children up-to-date
with their immunization series by age two. Currently, 80 percent of
Oregon's children are immunized on time.
Missed opportunities are a major barrier to timely immunizations.
VFC reduces this barrier by making it possible for private providers
to offer free vaccines in the office or clinic. Additionally, VFC
offers substantial cost savings to enrolled providers.
