Vaccination is the first and most important step in protecting your family. Children younger than 5 are at highest risk of serious flu complications including hospitalizations and death as compared to older children.
The VFC Program is the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention’s (CDC) largest public-private partnership, ensuring that all
eligible children receive the benefits of newly recommended vaccines, thereby
strengthening immunity levels in their communities. Eligible children
include those from 6 months of age to 18 years (accompanied by parent or guardian),
All Kids/Public Aid recipients, families without insurance and families who
insurance doesn’t cover vaccinations.
