Are vaccines expensive?
If you go to a private doctor, vaccines might be covered by your health insurance. A program called “Vaccines for Children” (VFC) provides vaccines at no cost for children who are enrolled in Medicaid, don’t have health insurance, or who are American Indian or Alaska Native. VFC may cover your child if your health insurance does not cover vaccines; you can take your child to a federally qualified health center or a rural health clinic. You may have to pay a small fee for the nurse to give the vaccine.
