This bulletin applies to NC Medicaid Direct and NC Medicaid Managed Care.
Children with NC Medicaid temporarily living in another state can get a free Vaccine for Children (VFC) vaccine from any VFC provider in that state. The VFC program is a federal program that gives free vaccines to children ages 18 and under.
VFC providers can include local health departments, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and pediatrician offices. A pharmacy may be a VFC provider, depending on the state.
Parents of children eligible for VFC can visit the Center for Disease Control’s website to find a list of local health departments by cities and counties in their area. If parents need help, they may contact the VFC Program Manager in each state. A list of managers is available to help parents find the VFC program manager in each state. The list can be found at VFC Program Manager.
For more information, please visit Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program: Information for Parents webpage.
