Division/Program Summary: The mission of the Bureau of Immunization (BOI) is to prevent the occurrence and transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) through comprehensive immunization programs. BOI promotes immunization across the lifespan from infancy through adulthood, works to eliminate disparities in vaccination coverage through data evaluation and support of equitable vaccination services, and actively responds to VPD outbreaks to mitigate their spread and impact on communities.
The NYC Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program distributes federally funded vaccines to private practices, hospitals, and clinics to immunize children aged 0 through 18 years who are eligible for or covered by Medicaid, are uninsured, American Indian/Alaska Native, or whose insurance does not cover the cost of a vaccine. In New York City, the VFC Unit oversees the review and evaluation of VFC provider practices and is implemented through VFC and IQIP (Immunization Quality Improvement for Providers) site visits conducted by Public Health Epidemiologist. These visits involve vaccine storage and handling evaluations, chart reviews, analysis of electronic immunization records, vaccine ordering, and vaccine utilization and reporting through NYC's Citywide Immunization Registry. The VFC Unit is also responsible for vaccine management and processing of over 2.6 million doses of publicly funded vaccine for nearly 1,200 immunization providers each year. Providers receive vaccines in accordance with their vaccine reporting to the CIR and the VFC Unit addresses any issues that may require follow-up.
