CDC COMMUNITY GUIDE: Universally Recommended Vaccinations: Reducing Client Out-of-Pocket Costs for Vaccinations
CDC
An Evidence-Based Practice
Description
Reducing out-of-pocket costs to families for vaccinations or administration of vaccinations can be implemented by paying for vaccinations or administration, providing insurance coverage, or reducing copayments for vaccinations at the point-of-service.
Results / Accomplishments
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends interventions that reduce client out-of-pocket costs based on strong evidence of effectiveness in improving vaccination rates. The effectiveness of these interventions has been demonstrated:
1. In children, adolescents, and adults
2. In a range of settings and populations
3. When applied in varying levels of scale from individual clinical settings to statewide programs to national efforts
4. Whether used alone or as part of a multi-component intervention
