VFC does not have a category specifically for the underserved. The term “underserved” refers to a geographic location such as a county or a census tract or a population living in a specific geographic location that has been designated by HRSA as medically underserved. For further information on medically underserved areas or population, please visit the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) website at http://www.bhpr.hrsa.gov/shortage/muaguide.htm It is common for VFC-eligible children to live in medically underserved areas or to be members of medically underserved populations.
