Site Visit Guidance for LHD Staff Conducting Visits

Visit Types & Prioritization

Vaccines for Children (VFC) Compliance Visits: VFC Compliance Visits are conducted to assess compliance with VFC program requirements. This includes identifying potential issues with accountability and determining whether public vaccines are being handled, stored, and administered under the guidelines and policies governing the VFC program. Site visits are also excellent opportunities to engage provider staff and develop and strengthen ongoing relationships.

Visit prioritization and site selection: Site visits must be performed no later than 24 months from the date of the previous VFC Compliance Visit. Consideration should be given to: tribal health centers, sites with a large patient population, sites with recent vaccine losses, and sites with recent staff turnover.
