Managing Immunizations

Contact the Immunization Section

Low immunization rates leave can impact vulnerable populations to some serious and life-threatening diseases. The following strategies are proven actions private and public providers can undertake to increase immunization rates in children:

Reduce Immunization Record Fragmentation

  • Enroll in Florida SHOTS and record all immunizations administered into the system
  • Use the Florida SHOTS to lookup records for each child before immunizing

Ensure Affordability

Enroll in the Florida Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program, which provides vaccine at no cost to providers to immunize children who meet certain eligibility requirements.
