In order for clients, birth through 18 years of age, to be eligible to receive Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC) immunizations at the Department of Public Health Clinics, they must meet one of the following eligibility criteria:

• Medicaid eligible
• Uninsured: a child who has no health insurance coverage
• American Indian or Alaskan Native
• nrolled in CHIP
• Underinsured - Underinsured definition according to the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) eligibility guidelines:
  • A child who has commercial (private) health insurance, but coverage does not include vaccines; or
  • A child whose insurance covers only selected vaccines (TVFC-eligible for non-covered vaccines only)
    Insured children with vaccine coverage who have high co-pays or deductibles are no longer considered underinsured. These children are now considered fully, privately insured, and are no longer eligible for TVFC vaccines. Make sure to contact your insurance and health care provider to verify your coverage and ensure that your physician has the vaccines your children need to register in time for classes.
