Vaccines for Children Program

Program Introduction and History

Since 1990, Washington State has maintained a universal childhood vaccine program, providing vaccines to all children under age 19, regardless of income, through a combination of state and federal funds. In October 1994, the federal government provided an additional funding source, the Vaccines for Children program. This federal entitlement program was developed to eliminate cost as a barrier and improve immunization levels, and is a critical funding source for vaccines.

The following pages are designed primarily for health care providers who are administering a Vaccines for Children program. They contain information on eligibility and accountability requirements necessary to administer the program properly.
