Welcome to the WV Immunization Program. Our mission is to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases among children, adolescents and adults of West Virginia.
Immunization is regarded as the most important public health intervention in history, after safe drinking water. It has saved millions of lives over the years and prevented hundreds of millions of cases of disease. None of us wants to see our children get sick. And getting them immunized can protect them from a number of very serious diseases.
The West Virginia Immunization Program offers the Vaccines For Children "VFC" program that provides free vaccines to eligible children, including those without health insurance coverage, all those who are enrolled in Medicaid, American Indians and Alaskan Natives and those whose health insurance dues does not cover vaccines and go to Federally Qualified Health Clinics or Rural Health Centers. This federally funded program is available at more than 380 provider locations across the state including all 54 health departments. Children who receive WVCHIP also receive their vaccines at no cost.
