Complete the Enrollment Forms

Upon receipt of your VFC Program Enrollment Packet, please review, complete, and sign your enrollment forms. The Provider Enrollment Form must be signed by the clinic's medical director or equivalent. Organizations with multiple facilities must complete enrollment forms for each site.

After we verify your provider enrollment and profile, a VFC Program representative will issue you a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which the provider will refer to for all contacts and transactions. Within two weeks, a VFC Program representative will contact the provider to verbally outline and review the state and federal VFC Program guidelines.

Schedule a Site Visit Review

A Bureau of Immunization field operations representative will arrange a new provider site visit and approve your facility for enrollment in the VFC Program.

The orientation site visit will include:

  • A review of VFC Program requirements
  • A review of vaccine storage and handling procedures
  • A verification that the provider’s clinic has a proper refrigerator/freezer unit to store VFC vaccines
  • An opportunity to answer provider or staff questions

Annual Recertfication

The Provider Recertification Form is the provider's agreement to comply with all of the conditions of the VFC Program. This form must be signed and submitted annually. The medical director or equivalent in a group practice with many providers must sign the Provider Recertification Form for the entire group. All other providers within the practice must be listed on the Provider List Section.
