What if vaccinations are too expensive?

There is a federal program to provide low cost
vaccines to eligible children. The government contracts with drug
manufacturers to buy vaccinations at a reduced rate. The government
then provides these vaccinations free of charge to eligible providers.
The provider may charge a small fee for dispensing the vaccine but can
not charge for the vaccine itself. The government limits how much a
provider may charge the patient for providing these immunizations. This
service is available for families without insurance, Medicaid eligible
families, Native American and Alaskan Natives, and families who have
insurance that does not cover vaccinations. The CDC web site has more
information about the
Vaccines For
Children program.
