School Reporting of Immunizations

Vaccines for Children (VFC) program

The VFC Program provides federally purchased vaccines for children 18 years of age and younger who are Medicaid eligible, have no health insurance (uninsured), are American Indian or Alaska Native, or are underinsured. A child is considered to be insured if all or a part of the vaccine is covered by insurance. An insured child is not eligible for the VFC Program. Parents are responsible for finding out if their health insurance includes any coverage for immunizations.

Children who have private insurance coverage for immunizations are not eligible to receive VFC vaccines at Health Department clinics.

If you need further information about the availability of a particular vaccine or your child's eligibility to receive VFC vaccines, contact the Health Department at 269-673-5411 and ask for the Immunization Program.

We bill Medicaid. Please bring your card. We do not bill Medicare. We do not bill Private Insurance companies. If you have Medicaid and have another form of health coverage, please call the Health Department to check if we can bill for you.
