Immunizations

Immunizations in Oxford, MS

You are able to pay for immunizations by insurance, or through the use of the Vaccine for Children program (VFC).

Provided Information Includes

  • If insurance covers the cost of your vaccines, your child is ineligible for our VFC program. Please review your insurance manual and/or follow up with your insurance company BEFORE to your visit with us to know this information. We are not able to find this information on your behalf.
  • The VFC program is available for children WITHOUT insurance coverage for vaccines, those on a Medicaid program, children of American Indian descent, or children without insurance
  • If your insurance covers the cost of vaccines, then you are NOT able to be in the VFC program.
  • The VFC program charges $10.00/vaccine to cover costs of giving the vaccine(s), (supplies, time, etc).
  • Children with insurance coverage of vaccines and vaccines given under the VFC program are the same medications. However, since they are supplied to our clinic separately, we must know prior to vaccination which program you wish to use. Once you have chosen, we cannot later alter the file, or if your insurance does not cover the costs, we cannot charge VFC.
