Childhood Vaccinations for Free?
Virginia children may qualify for a government program that provides caregivers like Medics USA with free vaccines for common childhood immunizations (MMR, Hepatitis A and B, Chicken Pox, Polio, and others). That means Medics USA will only charge for the administration of the shot, not for the vaccine.
Who qualifies?
Virginians 18 years of age or younger who meet at least one of the following conditions are eligible to receive VFC vaccine:
- Uninsured: A child who has no health insurance coverage.
- Underinsured: A child who has health insurance, but the coverage does not include vaccines or whose insurance covers only selected vaccines.
- Medicaid eligible: A child who is eligible for the Medicaid program or who have enrolled in health insurance covered by a state Medicaid program.
- American Indian or Alaska Native
