If a provider gives private-purchase vaccine to a child and later finds out the child was eligible for VFC vaccine (for example, because they are underinsured), what happens then?
Providers should document the child’s VFC status in the chart and transfer VFC vaccine to their private stock, replacing the private purchase vaccine given to the VFC child. The provider should document the transfer on the provider’s monthly accountability report and record it as a public dose administered.
