At minimum, the VFC program provider records must be kept for a period of three (3) years after service to the patient has been completed unless state law/policy establishes a longer archival period. Each state may have different rules regarding the retention of medical records, especially medical records of minor children. The two key agencies to check with regarding record retention rules are the state licensing board and/or the Secretary of State.
