When should the first VFC site visit be made to administer the VFC Site Visit Questionnaire to monitor a newly enrolled VFC provider’s compliance with the VFC program requirements?
At a minimum, three months should pass between the initial enrollment visit and the first VFC site visit to administer the VFC Site Visit Questionnaire. It is important that enough time has passed between the enrollment visit and administering the VFC Site Visit Questionnaire that the provider has had time to document required activities such as initial screening for VFC eligibility and documentation of temperature logs. CDC recommends that the VFC program staff administer the VFC Site Visit Questionnaire for the first time between three to twelve months after the enrollment process is completed to assure that all high priority questions in the VFC Site Visit Questionnaire can be administered and answered accurately.
