Immunization Programs

As one of the greatest public health achievements, vaccines protect people of all ages against infectious and life-threatening diseases. By staying up-to-date on the recommended vaccines, you can protect yourself, your family, friends, and community.

Vaccines For Children (VFC)

Vaccines for Children Program is for children ages 18 and younger who are uninsured, under-insured (whose insurance does not cover immunization), or American Indian or Alaskan Native. Children who are enrolled in WV Medicaid and WV CHIP also qualify for this program.  All vaccines for children and adolescents are available through Vaccines for Children Program – a federally funded program that provides vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices (ACIP) and approved by the Centers of Disease, Control and Prevention (CDC).

Offered vaccines include influenza,  Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, aka whooping cough), pneumonia, yellow fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B or combined as Twinrix, Shingrix (shingles); as well as those required by universities, employers and immigration.
