For Those Without Providers or Insurance

Vaccines for Children Program

Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is a federally-funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to eligible children. The vaccines are distributed to private physicians’ offices and public health clinics enrolled as VFC providers.

Vaccines for Adults Program

Vaccines for Adults (VFA) Program provides vaccines at no cost to eligible adults. NJ does not currently have a VFA program.

Local Health Departments

Most local health departments (LHD) administer the HPV vaccine for free if you qualify. Here is a list of LHDs and their contact information so that you can find out if they offer the vaccine and if there are any fees associated with it.

Community Health Centers

The community-based health centers and Federally Qualified Health Centers are part of the nation’s healthcare safety net. Patients often qualify for low or no-cost services based on their specific needs. Click the link above to find a health center near you.

Family Planning Program Sites

The programs listed provide comprehensive, confidential family planning and reproductive health care services to all women, men, and adolescents regardless of ability to pay or immigration status. If a client does not have insurance coverage, a sliding fee scale based on the client’s income is used to determine if a fee will be charged.

Merck Patient Assistance Program

This private and confidential program provides vaccines free of charge to eligible individuals, primarily the uninsured who, without our assistance, could not afford needed Merck medicines. Individuals who don’t meet the insurance criteria may still qualify for this program if they attest that they have special circumstances of financial and medical hardship, and their income meets the program criteria.
