Order Processing Updates:

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is currently not experiencing any delays in order review. Please note if you have an order in “Corrections Needed” status, review your order as soon as you have a chance and re-submit with corrections to prevent additional delays in fulfillment of your order. Providers can expect to receive their vaccines within 14 days after receiving the order processed notification. Please contact us at the VFC Customer Service Center if vaccines have not arrived within two weeks of your order processed confirmation.

As of 10/7, McKesson is caught up with order fulfillment and shipping on their normal cadence. If you have an approved order from the September 23, 2024 or earlier, and still have not yet received your shipment, please contact our VFC Customer Service Representatives at 877-243-8832. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
