The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) purchases vaccines at a discount and distributes them to state health departments and certain local and territorial public health agencies. These agencies, in turn, distribute the vaccines to VFC-enrolled providers.
Providers must be enrolled in the VFC program to offer these vaccines. They include private doctors' offices, public health clinics, and other healthcare settings. Parents or guardians should contact their healthcare provider to find out if they are a VFC-enrolled provider.
