24.3.20.1 Immunizations-Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC)
The CSHCN Services Program pays for immunizations administered to program-eligible clients. The CSHCN Services Program encourages all providers to appropriately immunize clients. Immunizations must be provided in accordance with the routine immunization schedules approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Immunization Program/Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. All routine immunizations, pneumococcal vaccines, influenza vaccines, and selected other vaccines/toxoids are a benefit of the CSHCN Services Program.
Providers can enroll in the TVFC Program to obtain vaccines/toxoids at no charge. The CSHCN Services Program encourages providers to participate in the TVFC Program, but it is not a requirement. Providers interested in obtaining current immunization information or enrollment information for the TVFC Program may call the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Immunizations at 1-800-252-9152.
