Please note the following changes: Beginning Oct. 1, 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented changes to the policy for vaccines provided through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. As of this date, VFC vaccine cannot be used to immunize fully-insured individuals, defined as anyone with insurance that covers the cost of vaccine, even if:

• The insurance includes a high deductible or co-pay
• A claim for the cost of vaccine and its administration would be denied for payment by the insurance company because the plan’s deductible has not been met
• Starting at the arrow it should say:
• Children who have private insurance may be eligible for vaccines through the health department. The
  following insurance are accepted for some vaccines:
• Cox Health Plans
• United Healthcare
• Aetna
• Coventry
• Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield

Call to see if your child is eligible.
