Child receiving immunization

To provide leadership to increase vaccine levels and reduce the burden of vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs).

Program Overview

  • The Texas Vaccine for Children (TVFC) and Adult Safety Net (ASN) programs provide vaccines free of charge to eligible patients.  
  • Healthcare providers can enroll in the TVFC program and qualified providers can enroll in the ASN program to receive vaccines.  
  • Regional Staff work with contracted Local Health Departments, DSHS Field Offices and approximately 600 providers to ensure that vaccines are stored appropriately and administrated only to eligible children. ​  
  • We provide training and education to TVFC/ASN providers with identification of inventory, accounting, errors, bi-annual contract, visits, quality assurance site visits and follow-ups. ​  
  • Work with schools and daycares to ensure children enrolled in those facilities meet minimum standards for attendance either through vaccination or obtaining an official vaccine exemption form. ​  
  • Provide access to immunization records for children and adults who consented to be in the Texas Immunization Registry (Immtrac2).  
    • Provide clients with official immunization history records if they were submitted in ImmTrac2.  
    • Create and manage school and children lists.  
    • Access to records, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
