Who Are We?
We are the Philadelphia Immunization Program. We keep Philadelphia healthy by averting vaccine-preventable diseases and increasing immunization coverage across the city. Part of the Philadelphia Department of the Public Health Division of Disease Control, we are federally-funded to oversee the government purchase and local distribution of vaccines. By monitoring the use of these vaccines, we help providers maintain their vaccination inventory.

Philadelphia's Immunization Information System, or PhilaVax IIS, is a secure system that allows health care providers to access patient immunization records and use every opportunity to vaccine patients. Learn more.

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is a vaccine supply program that allows enrolled health care providers to give free immunizations to eligible children. Learn more.
VFAAR
The Vaccines for Adults at Risk (VFAAR) Program makes free vaccine available to select providers serving adults at high-risk for vaccine preventable diseases. Learn more.

Need Help or Support?
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, much of our staff is working remotely at off-site clinics and vaccination events. We urge all providers to email our team members rather than call them.
