There are a variety of sources of funds to pay for your child's immunizations. The Vaccine for Children Program (VFC) provides federal funds to pay for the immunization of children who meet eligibility criteria. If you have medicaid, are uninsured, are underinsured or are Native American or Alaskan Native you are eligible for VFC. Ask your physician for information about this program or call the Immunization Program . You can also find out about this program at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/vfc/default.htm. If you do not qualify for the Vaccine for Children program, you may be eligible for the Delaware Healthy Children Program, a low cost insurance program that pays for many of your children's health needs including immunization. In addition, most private insurance plans cover childhood immunizations. Contact your insurer or ask your physician whether your plan covers the immunization of you child. - Which diseases are preventable with vaccines?
