Must specialty providers offer all age-appropriate VFC vaccines to their VFC-eligible patients in order to enroll in the VFC program?
Specialty providers, at the discretion of the grantee, may limit their VFC practice to particular relevant vaccines. Specialty providers include inpatient settings such as birthing hospitals, juvenile detention centers or juvenile inpatient treatment facilities. When enrolling inpatient facilities such as birthing hospital or juvenile inpatient treatment facilities in the VFC program, is it necessary to list all providers (e.g. nurses, residents, interns) authorized to administer vaccines under the supervision of the VFC provider who signs the enrollment form?
No. Specialty providers enrolled in the VFC program, at the discretion of the grantee, may limit their VFC practice to particular relevant vaccines. Specialty providers would include birthing hospitals, juvenile detention centers or juvenile inpatient treatment facilities, OB/GYN practices, family planning and STD clinics, and pharmacists/ pharmacies.
