What is the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program?
The VFC Program provides you with all routine vaccines for your Medicaid eligible patients, ages 0 through 18, at no cost. This is a federally funded program offered through the state of Michigan.
This program helps prioritize preventive care for Medicaid-eligible patients, reduce disparities and safeguard communities from preventable diseases. The VFC program works to ensure no child misses out on essential vaccinations due to barriers to care.
