As of January 1, 2012 due to a budget cut, VFC vaccines are no longer available in our offices for under-insured children. 

Those who are under-insured can still receive VFC vaccines but only at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) or  Medicare Certified Rural Health Centers (RHC).

A patient is considered under-insured when they are insured with a commercial insurance and meet one of the following criteria:

  • No vaccine coverage
  • The insurance covers only certain vaccines
  • Have a minimum yearly limit for vaccines.  After that is met, there is no vaccine coverage.
Here are the local community health centers
