The only vaccine management platform with full VFC support.
Registry integration, borrowing management, eligibility checks, inventory reconciliation, audit preparation, and enrollment guidance. All included at no additional cost.
VFC is a safety net even for mostly-private practices.
A patient's insurance lapses after vaccination. Their plan switches mid-month. You discover they were out-of-network. Without VFC, you're stuck choosing between charging the family $500 or eating the cost yourself.
With VFC, you swap the dose and move on. Canid handles the rest.
Coverage Lapses
Insurance was active when you vaccinated but lapses before the claim processes. Without VFC, that revenue is gone.
Mid-Month Plan Switches
Family switches plans between the visit and claim processing. The old plan denies coverage, the new plan says it wasn't active yet.
OON Surprises
Patient's insurance is active, but your practice isn't the in-network PCP for that specific plan. Claim denied.
Texas: Highest Uninsured Rate
Texas has the highest uninsured pediatric population in the country. Even non-Medicaid practices there need VFC enrollment.
Other platforms don't touch VFC.
VaxCare and other vaccine management vendors don't offer VFC support. If you're using them, you're managing VFC entirely on your own: separate ordering, separate reconciliation, separate billing. Canid is the only platform that handles it all.
Six VFC capabilities. Zero additional cost.
Works with heavy Medicaid practices, exclusively private practices, or any mix in between. Every capability listed below is included in your Canid partnership.
Registry Upload Errors
Canid resolves registry upload errors as they occur, so your state reporting stays current and accurate without any manual troubleshooting.
Inventory Reconciliation
Full 3-way reconciliation between physical inventory, Canid records, and state registry. Discrepancies caught before they become audit findings.
Audit Data Review
Canid reviews your data proactively for audit readiness. When inspections come, your records are already clean and organized.
VFC Eligibility Checks
The system checks VFC eligibility and flags mismatches between inventory type and insurance status before the vaccine is administered.
Automated Patient Forms
Consent forms pre-populated with lot numbers, expiration dates, and insurance info. Available in English and Spanish with your practice logo.
Order Uploads
Canid prepares VFC orders in your state registry. Your VFC coordinator reviews and approves. All under your clinic's supervision.
You confirm the decision. Canid manages everything else.
Configuration and testing timelines vary by state. Once active, Canid assumes complete operational responsibility. Your practice doesn't monitor integrations, troubleshoot errors, or manage uploads.
Problem detection
If something breaks, Canid's system flags it immediately and the team resolves it.
Parental consent
Some states require signed consent. Your practice collects it, Canid reports it to the registry.
Manual backup
If integration isn't active yet, a trained team handles manual reporting. Zero gaps in state data.
Clear legal split
Your practice
Legal VFC compliance responsibility. You supervise and hit submit.
Canid
All operational management. Every registry task, reconciliation, upload, and error resolution.
Auto-identified borrowing cases. 1-click swaps. Complete compliance paper trail.
Auto-Identified Cases
System automatically flags when a private dose should have been VFC or vice versa. No manual checking required.
1-Click Swaps
Swap inventory type with a single click. Redundant swaps are auto-resolved so nothing gets double-counted.
Retroactive Borrowing
Common to discover after the fact that a patient was VFC-eligible or a plan didn't cover. Canid records retroactive swaps with full audit trail.
Borrowing Reports
Filter by movement type, status, and date of service. Complete visibility into every swap for compliance documentation.
Dedicated monitoring team
A team dedicated to catching incorrect eligibility, misinterpreted plans, and deficient insurance. Practices can also request reviews or flag cases they think were missed.
State-dependent: Some states like New Jersey don't allow borrowing. Canid knows the rules for every state and configures accordingly.
Not enrolled in VFC yet? Canid guides you through it.
VFC enrollment involves training requirements, inspections, temperature monitors, and emergency protocols. Canid guides the enrollment process while making sure you know exactly which compliance pieces remain your responsibility.
Even non-Medicaid practices should consider VFC.
Texas has the highest uninsured pediatric population in the country. VFC acts as a safety net for every practice, regardless of payer mix. One insurance lapse can cost $500 per dose.

Double your profit on every VFC dose. At no extra cost.
VFC vaccines are provided by the government at no cost. The practice earns revenue from the administration fee. Here's how the math works.
Without Canid -- VFC Administration
With Canid -- Same VFC Dose
A note about fridges
Canid doesn't provide refrigerators. Your practice provides VFC-compliant refrigeration. Canid recommends specific models that meet requirements and helps you understand what your state expects.
"Canid calls me before the state does. That's a big deal."
