Return to VFC Home Page

Survey Conducted in September-October 2007

Every other year, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program conducts a satisfaction survey of the public and private healthcare provider clinics enrolled in the program. The survey helps to assess provider satisfaction with the program's services and support in delivering quality immunization services to Florida's children. The results from the current survey verify that 97% of customers agree, or strongly agree, that they are satisfied with Florida's VFC Program. Ninety-four percent indicated that VFC staff provided prompt and helpful support, information, and materials.
