If a child presents for vaccines and does not have health insurance but the parent plans to insure the child, would this child be eligible for VFC vaccine?
If the child has no health insurance on the day he/she presents at the office for immunizations, the child would be VFC eligible because he/she is uninsured. VFC eligibility screening must take place with each visit even though the patient screening form needs to be updated only when the eligibility status of the child changes.
