Universal Childhood Vaccine Program

The universal Childhood Vaccine Program provides vaccine to all kids in Washington State. The program buys vaccines at bulk discount rates for all kids covered by private health insurance through a combination of federal and state funds.

Benefits of the Program

• Keeps all kids protected against serious diseases.
• Saves the health care system money.
• Keeps things simple for health care providers and families.

Federal Funds

• Vaccines for Children Program

State Funds

• Private health plans and other payers pay the state for vaccines given to kids they cover through the Washington Vaccine Association (WVA). The WVA manages payments to the state from health plans and other payers.
• Information about the WVA and tracking of vaccines given to kids with private health insurance is available online.

Thank you to all of our partners--health care providers, parents, health plans, and other payers--who make this program possible.
