The North Carolina Immunization Program

The North Carolina Immunization Program works in conjunction with the federal vaccine supply program, called the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, to provide vaccines to health care providers across the state who administer childhood immunizations.  The health care providers may then administer these childhood vaccines to their patients.  Providers may charge the patient, or the responsible adult accompanying the patient, an out-of-pocket administration fee, of no more than the rate established by the state's Medicaid program, for each state-supplied vaccine given in an encounter

The state program has been designed to be as consumer-oriented as possible, and many physicians have said using this system is easy and trouble-free.  The paperwork has been kept to a minimum, and vaccine ordering is simple and can be done online, over the phone, or by fax.  Over ninety percent of providers who administer immunizations in North Carolina have signed up for this program. 

We want to count you as one of the more than 4,400 physicians who are a part of North Carolina’s Immunization Program.  To become a NCIP provider, please contact the North Carolina Immunization Branch Help Desk at 1-877-873-6247.
