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
If you are a provider and would like to enroll in our VFC Program,
send us an email with your
contact information and we will send you an enrollment packet.
For information on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and
Rural Health Centers (RHCs), call the Immunization Program at 608-267-9959.
