​Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program provides vaccines to children who do not have health insurance. Children who are insured but whose insurance does not cover immunizations are also eligible to receive federally funded vaccines at public sites, including Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics. For more information regarding PA’s VFC Program, contact 1-888-646-6864.

Provider Enrollment

Providers* interested in enrolling in the PA VFC Program must review the VFC Provider Policies below and complete the VFC Program Policies and Guidelines Acknowledgement Form.

Once the Acknowledgement Form has been submitted, providers will be automatically directed to the PA VFC Program Provider Agreement.

View a PDF of the Pennsylvania Immunization Program Provider Agreement to use as a reference when completing the electronic application form. All applications must be submitted using the electronic form.

*Specialty care providers including, but not limited to, pharmacists and urgent care centers must meet at least one the following need-based criteria to be eligible to apply for the PA VFC Program:

  • located in a Health Professional Shortage Area for Primary Care;
  • located in a Medically Underserved Area; or
  • located in a geographic gap in VFC coverage (no other VFC providers within a 30-minute travel radius).

To determine eligibility prior to applying, specialty care providers can contact the VFC Program Manager, currently Julie Myers, by email julimyers@pa.gov. Please include site name and address.

Please note, pharmacists, urgent care centers, and school-located vaccination clinics must agree to vaccinate all "walk-in" VFC-eligible children, in addition to meeting all general VFC requirements.
