Definitions

An underinsured person is a person who has commercial (private) health insurance, but the coverage does not include vaccines; a person whose insurance covers only selected vaccines (VUA-eligible for non-covered vaccines only); or a person whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount. Once that coverage amount is reached, the person is categorized as underinsured.

The Immunization Unit has received supplemental funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support vaccination for uninsured and underinsured adults through the Bridge Access Vaccine (BAV) Program. If your facility chooses to enroll in the BAV Program, COVID-19 vaccines will be available to order within the Wyoming Immunization Registry (WyIR) at no cost to your facility to administer to uninsured and underinsured adults in Wyoming. In addition, COVID-19 vaccines administered through the BAV Program will be eligible for vaccine administration fee reimbursement on a monthly basis.

Please contact wdh.covidenrollment@wyo.gov for more information.

• Underinsured: VFC for underinsured is only available at federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and deputized provider clinics (all public health nursing (PHN) offices in Wyoming are deputized clinics). Underinsured includes a child who has commercial (private) health insurance, but the coverage does not include vaccines; a child whose insurance covers only selected vaccines (VFC-eligible for non-covered vaccines only); or a child whose insurance caps vaccine coverage at a certain amount. Once that coverage amount is reached, the child is categorized as underinsured.
• A Delegation of Authority may be granted to VFC providers only. The delegation extends VFC authority to vaccinate underinsured VFC- eligible children due to limited capacity or distance from providers. A Delegation of Authority may be granted to VFC Providers only. The delegation extends VFC authority to vaccinate underinsured VFC- eligible children from Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) to other VFC providers. Extension of this VFC authority is intended to provide underinsured VFC-eligible children with access to VFC vaccines that would otherwise be unavailable due to limited capacity or absence of an FQHC or RHC in a service area.

The Wyoming Vaccinates Important People (WyVIP) program is a state-funded vaccine program that provides affordable vaccines to children who are not VFC-eligible. Only Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Rural Health Clinics, and Public Health offices are eligible to participate in the Wyoming Vaccinates Important People (WyVIP) Program. Children who are Wyoming residents, 18 years and under, and do not qualify for VFC vaccine are eligible to receive vaccines through the WyVIP program. Influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Hepatitis A, meningococcal, HPV, and COVID-19 vaccines are not available through the WyVIP program.
