Enrollment in the Vaccines for Children Program

How do I enroll in the program?

Call the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program at (800) 4VFCKid (483-2543) and ask for an enrollment package. Once you receive your package:

  • Fill out, sign, and return your enrollment form. The enrollment form lists Florida’s requirements for participation.
    • Your form will be kept on file by the Bureau of Immunization.
  • Update your provider profile form annually to help the Florida VFC Program order the necessary amount of vaccine for your office.
    • If you participate in a group, you will only need to submit one form for the entire group.
    • The provider profile is a brief estimate of the annual number of children vaccinated in your practice or clinic and the proportion likely to qualify for VFC annually.
    • If your vaccine supply needs change during the year, please submit another profile form as soon as possible.
  • Once you are enrolled by the state, you can expect your first vaccine delivery within 30 days after you place your order.
    • You will reorder through your VFC Program customer service representative.
    • Florida requires providers to report vaccine usage quarterly [PDF 91 KB].

If you are interested in enrollment, click on the enrollment link [PDF 1.13 MB], complete the enrollment and provider profile forms, and mail or fax a copy to:

After we verify your provider enrollment and profile forms, we will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). A VFC representative will contact you to arrange an office visit to review procedures and ensure that your clinic has proper refrigeration units to store VFC vaccines. After we approve your enrollment, your office will receive a very small amount of a vaccine product. This shipment serves to confirm your shipping information is correct. As soon as you receive this shipment, you may complete your Additional Vaccine Order [PDF 89 KB] and Varicella Vaccine Order [PDF 29 KB] forms and submit them by fax to (850) 245-4734. Vaccines are shipped via overnight delivery.
