Medicaid program; rescission of the guidelines for documenting Medicaid recipient access to immunizations under the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program--HCFA. Notice.
This notice rescinds the guidelines that we published in the Federal Register on October 3, 1994, that required States to document equal access to immunizations for Medicaid children if States elected to use lower vaccine administration fees than the maximum charges that were published and applicable under the Vaccines for Children program. These guidelines are rescinded in response to public comments on the October 3, 1994 notice. States indicated that there were numerous problems regarding the collection of useable data.
