The "Vaccines for Children" Program
Vaccines have been saving lives and preventing serious illness for centuries. Yet, each year, thousands of people die and many more are hospitalized because of infectious diseases, like meningitis, whooping cough, and influenza, known as the flu, that could have been prevented by vaccination. In these tough economic times, more families must choose between health care and other critical needs. Fortunately, there is a federal government program, Vaccines for Children, which provides vaccines to children and teens at no- or low-cost to uninsured families and others who qualify.
To learn if you are eligible for the Vaccines for Children Program, call your healthcare provider or your local health department. For more information about the program, or to search for your local health department by ZIP code, visit www.naccho.org.
