Ensuring Equity in COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Engaging Federally Qualified Health Centers

The Health Center COVID-19 Vaccine Program, a partnership between HRSA and CDC, has begun incrementally at select HRSA-funded health centers that specialize in caring for hard-to-reach and disproportionately affected populations. The goal is to address health equity in vaccine delivery by providing a direct supply of COVID-19 vaccines to health centers who serve these populations.

COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund

COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund (CAF) will cover the costs of administering COVID-19 vaccines to patients whose health insurance doesn’t cover vaccine administration fees, or does but typically has patient cost-sharing. While patients cannot be billed directly for COVID-19 vaccine fees, costs to health care providers on the front lines for administering COVID-19 vaccines to underinsured patients will now be fully covered through CAF, subject to available funding.
