Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking manufacturers of pediatric vaccines to provide vaccines for the 2026-2027 season. The primary intention is to procure vaccines for the Vaccine for Children (VFC) program, which guarantees federal support for the purchase and supply of vaccines to states. The program aims to provide immunizations for children who are Medicaid-eligible, without health insurance, American Indian/Alaska native, or have health insurance that does not cover the cost of vaccines. The CDC is looking for manufacturers to provide vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market. Key aspects of the job include:
• Providing pediatric vaccines for the 2026-2027 season
• Meeting the requirements of the VFC program
• Offering vaccines at prices below those available in the commercial market
• Potential for additional purchases of vaccines using state and local funds
• Compliance with 42 U.S.C. § 1396s and other relevant regulations
