Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
Vaccines for Children Program (VFC)
Resolution No. 6/94-16

Outbreak control

The ACIP has established a schedule for immunization of children 018 years eligible to be covered by the VFC program.  
This schedule applies to routine circumstances.  However, during emergencies, such as outbreaks, other children who qualify 
for the VFC program will need vaccines.

The ACIP recommends that state and local health authorities be given flexibility to provide vaccine purchased by the VFC program 
for additional VFC eligible children during outbreaks provided that those outbreak control measures are consistent with existing 
ACIP recommendations.

Adopted:  June 29, 1994
