The Denver Public Health Immunization Clinic is uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive immunization services to children and families, under the direction of Judith C. Shlay, MD, MSPH.
Children's Vaccines
The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provides vaccines to eligible children 18 years of age and under, following the ACIP/AAP/AAFP pediatric immunization recommendations. Eligible children are those who are on Medicaid, have no insurance or are Native American/Alaska Natives. As participants in the VFC program, eligible children receive vaccines at $20 per shot or donation accepted. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or person who has the authority to give consent (a step-parent, adult relative of first or second degree kinship, or an adult child care provider who has care and control of the minor). Please bring the child's current immunization record.
Starting January 1, 2013, discounted vaccines can no longer be used on fully insured pediatric patients. After this date, each vaccine will cost $20 for children who are uninsured or who have insurance not covering vaccines. No child will be turned away for inability to pay. Insurance will be billed for children who have Medicaid.
If a child has private insurance that covers vaccines, they can still be sent to Denver Public Health Immunization Clinic. However, their parents/guardians will have to pay full price for the vaccine when they receive it and can submit paperwork to their insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Desde el 1 de enero del 2013, no se podrá ofrecer descuentos en vacunas a los pacientes pediátricos con seguro completo. Después de esta fecha, cada vacuna costará $20 para los niños que no tengan seguro o que tengan un seguro que no cubra las vacunas. No se dejará de vacunar a ningún niño por incapacidad de pagar. Con respecto a los niños que reciben beneficios de Medicad, se enviará la factura de su vacuna al seguro.
También los niños que tienen seguros médicos privados que cubren las vacunas pueden ser atendidos en la Clínica de Vacunación de Salud Pública de Denver. Sin embargo, sus padres o tutores tendrán que pagar el precio completo de la vacuna cuando se administre la vacuna y pueden presentar luego los documentos pertinentes a su compañía de seguros para solicitar un posible reembolso.
