Immunizations

Immunization Program Changes:

Effective December 1, 2009, the Child Health Clinic will no longer provide the following vaccines free of charge for all children.

The vaccines include pediatric hepatitis A vaccine; Tdap vaccine (except for the sixth grade requirement); the combination vaccine Pentacel (DTaP-IPV-Hib)-following the alleviation of the Hib shortage; the combination vaccine Pediarix (DTaP-IPV-HepB); the combination vaccine Kinrix (DTap-IPV); MMRV; or the 2nd dose of Varicella.

In North Carolina, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program is part of the North Carolina Immunization Program (NCIP).

These vaccines will be available free for VCF-eligible children only. VFC eligible children through 18 years of age who meet at least one of the following criteria are considered federally vaccine eligible and therefore eligible to participate in the VFC program.

- Medicaid eligible,

- Uninsured: A child who has no health insurance coverage,

- Indian (American Indian or Alaska Native): as defined by the

Indian Health Care Improvement Act (25 U.S. C.1603)

- Underinsured: Children who have commercial (private) health insurance but the coverage does not include vaccines, children whose insurance covers only selected vaccines, children whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount-once that coverage amount is reached, these children are categorized as underinsured.

Non-VFC: children are defined as those who are fully insured, that is the family’s insurance plan will cover vaccine administration after deductibles and co-payments are met.

Child Health Immunization Clinic hours are Monday-Friday

8:00a.m.-4:00pm.

No appointment is needed for Immunizations.

For more information, please contact our office 910-893-7550.

The North Carolina Immunization Branch offers important information concerning your child’s immunizations.
