To be eligible for this program, children (newborns through 18 years of age) must meet one of the following criteria: - Medicaid eligible - Uninsured, - American Indian/Alaska Native - Uninsured with respect to the vaccine to be administered and served by a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or a Rural Health Clinic (RHC) or another VFC provider who has a signed memorandum of understanding with an FQHC or RHC to serve these underinsured children.
