Dear Partner,
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services launched a new interactive VFC provider map to help eligible North Carolina families more easily find free childhood vaccines in their area through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program.
This searchable online map includes all VFC providers across North Carolina, making it easier for families and community health workers to locate nearby providers who offer VFC vaccines for eligible children and teens. The map is easily accessible through a new, user-friendly URL: VaccinesForKids.nc.gov.
Key features of the new VFC Provider Map include:
- Easy search by city or ZIP code
- Direct links to local VFC providers
- Ability to sort by provider type
- Available in Spanish at VacunasParaNinos.nc.gov
As North Carolina families prepare for summer camps and school registration requirements, NCDHHS is reminding parents that free, age-appropriate childhood vaccines are available for eligible children and adolescents through VFC providers statewide.
In addition to the map, families can:
- Check eligibility for free vaccines
- Access clear, up-to-date information on required and recommended vaccines
- Find answers to common questions about vaccine safety and more
We encourage you to share the map on the VFC webpage with your colleagues, communities, and partners. We have also included a template, which is linked for you below, to use in newsletters or e-blasts to help share this resource.
