It helps families by providing no-cost vaccines to doctors who serve eligible children. The program is administered at the national level by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Immunization Program. States and eligible U.S. projects enroll providers who serve eligible patients (up to age 18), providing routine immunizations with little to no out-of-pocket costs.
