At Aslan Health, we are proud participants in the Minnesota Vaccines for Children (MnVFC) program, a vital initiative that ensures all children have access to essential immunizations. Through MnVFC, eligible children can receive vaccines at no cost, with only a nominal administration fee of $10 per injection.
Understanding the MnVFC Program
The MnVFC program is Minnesota’s adaptation of the federal Vaccines for Children initiative, designed to make vaccines accessible and affordable for all children within their medical homes. This program provides free vaccines to children who meet certain eligibility criteria, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from receiving necessary immunizations.
Eligibility Criteria
Children aged 18 years and younger may qualify for the MnVFC program if they meet one or more of the following conditions:
- Enrolled in Medicaid or Medical Assistance
- Uninsured
- Underinsured (insurance does not cover vaccines)
- American Indian or Alaska Native
For a comprehensive list of eligibility criteria, please refer to the MnVFC Program Resources.
How It Works at Aslan Health
As a participating provider, Aslan Health offers MnVFC vaccines to eligible children. While the vaccines themselves are provided at no cost, there is a $10 administration fee per injection to cover the costs associated with administering the vaccine. This fee is significantly lower than the cost of vaccines in the private sector, making it an affordable option for families.
Why Vaccination Is Important
Vaccinations are a crucial component of preventive healthcare, protecting children from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. By ensuring your child is vaccinated, you are not only safeguarding their health but also contributing to the overall well-being of the community by preventing the spread of infectious diseases.
