• Description:
  As Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19 vaccine products expand to include adolescents and children, it is critical to enroll providers in the COVID-19 Vaccination Program to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccination services . Providers enrolled in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program are well situated to serve in this capacity due to their direct access to the younger patient population and their familiarity with vaccine administration and federal vaccine programs. Though the VFC and COVID-19 Vaccination programs are both federal government programs, they each have distinct requirements based on the associated funding legislation. For this reason, the provider agreements remain separate, and VFC providers must sign and adhere to the requirements of the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Agreement in order to receive and administer COVID-19 vaccines. The table below has been developed to assist VFC providers in understanding the difference in the programs’ requirements. Program differences are in bold.
