About VTrckS

VTrckS is integral to supporting current and future requirements for effectively managing and distributing publicly-funded vaccines. The current technology infrastructure is composed of multiple standalone systems developed during the 1990s. As Vaccines for Children (VFC) and related programs grew, the technology needs associated with managing these programs also grew in terms of both scale and complexity. By implementing an integrated system based on a modern technology platform, CDC is laying a long-term foundation for effectively managing publicly-funded vaccine.

VTrckS offers grantees, through a secure system, reduced manual processes and data entry as well as improved visibility into order status, shipment status, and provider inventory. Through VTrckS, grantees can:
