Vaccine Eligibility Guidelines

immunization

Brazos County Health District is currently able to provide most vaccinations due to federal and state-funded programs. Because of the funding sources, there are eligibility requirements that must be met in order to receive the vaccines. If you do not qualify at this time, we will refer you to either pharmacies or to a primary care physician.  Here are the eligibility requirements:

Children 18 years and younger

  • Eligible: Uninsured, underinsured*, Medicaid (currently enrolled or in the application process), or American Indian/Alaskan Native.
  • Not Eligible: Private insurance that covers vaccines or children with CHIP. 

Definition of Underinsured

Someone who has private insurance that does not cover vaccines.

Or…

Someone who has private insurance that only covers selected vaccines (eligible for non-covered vaccines).

Or…

Someone who has private insurance that has a fixed dollar limit or cap on the amount that it will cover for vaccines (eligible once fixed dollar limit or cap is reached).
