Information About the Vaccines for Children Program The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program supplies vaccine to all states,
territories, and the District of Columbia for use by participating providers.
These vaccines are to be provided to eligible children without vaccine cost to
the patient or the provider. All routine childhood vaccines recommended by ACIP
are available through this program, including influenza vaccines. The program
saves parents and providers out-of-pocket expenses for vaccine purchases and
provides cost savings to states through CDC's vaccine contracts. The program
results in lower vaccine prices and ensures that all states pay the same
contract prices. Detailed information about the VFC program is available at
