Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule

  Immunization Schedules Updated for 2023!


  Immunization Registry Now Required! 

AB 1797 requires California providers to enter immunizations they administer as well as a patient’s race and ethnicity into a California immunization registry (CAIR or Healthy Futures/RIDE). Enroll in CAIR today! To learn more, see the AB 1797 FAQs

Order Processing Updates:

There are currently no delays in the processing of federally-supplied vaccine requests. Received requests are promptly reviewed, approved and processed by the VFC Program’s Customer Service Center. As of Thursday, March 16, 2023, McKesson has resumed regular shipping of all VFC vaccine orders.
 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UPS has temporarily adjusted their signature guidelines for all shipments within the United States.  Signatures may not be required, meaning vaccine orders may be left unattended at provider offices or delivered.

 

Regular Vaccine Supply Information:

Through June 2023, CDC has instituted temporary ordering controls to mitigate a potential supply constraint for Td vaccine. Once our allocation is exceeded for the month, Td vaccine will be unavailable to order until our allocation is refreshed the following month. Please remember to order and administer Tdap instead of Td whenever possible.

As of March 8, 2023, VAQTA Syringes are currently unavailable. However, VAQTA Vials are available to order.

As of March 6, 2023, ROTARIX (NDC 58160-0854-52, a vial and oral dosing applicator) is discontinued and no longer available. However, ROTARIX (NDC 58160-0740-21, an oral dosing applicator only presentation) is available to order.

As of June 2, 2022, Menactra has been discontinued and is no longer available. However, Menveo and MenQuadfi are available to order.

As of April 18, 2022, Pneumococcal 20-valent (Prevnar 20) is now available.

 

Influenza Vaccine Supply Information: 

October 10, 2022: The California Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program have fulfilled all initial order requests. Orders were processed on October 4, 2022, for shipments arriving as early as Friday, October 7, 2022. With all initial orders fulfilled, the Additional Ordering system is now available for all providers to order additional influenza vaccines as needed.

IMPORTANT: If your clinic will be closed, please notify the VFC Program immediately at 1-877-243-8832 to prevent any shipping incidents that could lead to vaccine waste.
