COVID-19 Vaccine Availability Information for Providers
Date: November 24, 2025
Attention: Providers
Call to action: The purpose of this communication is to confirm for providers that with the Texas Vaccines for children program (TVFC), COVID-19 vaccines are available for 6 months and older through TVFC within the Vaccine Allocation and Ordering System (VAOS), with no identified supply or ordering issues. The Texas Medicaid pharmacy benefit does not cover COVID-19 vaccines for children.
Background:
VDP received a question concerning COVID-19 vaccine availability, as some MCOs have stated that pediatric providers are struggling to obtain COVID-19 vaccines for children. The following is information for MCOs to distribute to their providers regarding COVID-19 vaccine availability.
How this impacts providers: Vaccines that are available through TVFC for children over 6 months are summarized in the table below. The sole FDA-approved choice available for children 6 months through 4 years is the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which is approved for children 6 months through 11 years. TVFC has added the updated 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccines to the vaccine choice page in VAOS. Providers should adjust their vaccine choice as needed. An ordering walkthrough is attached to this notice. To update vaccine choices, follow these steps:
Access the VAOS Provider Portal and select “Vaccine Choice” from the top menu bar.
Select the ordering facility from the drop-down menu. Once completed, click submit.
Return to the homepage and select “Reporting and Ordering” to place a vaccine order.
