Indiana Health Centers would like to thank Governor Mike Braun for exempting Indiana’s Federally Qualified Health Centers from the changes to the 340B drug pricing program. The exemption will protect access to healthcare for our patients and allow us to continue to expand our services to best care for our communities. We are grateful to Governor Braun and his administration for taking the time to listen to our concerns and consider the real-world impact these changes would have made.

We would also like to thank our community supporters, patients, CIC and board members, and staff who continue to advocate for community health centers across the state. Your voices matter and make the difference!

The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a critical lifeline that allows healthcare providers at clinics statewide to provide life-saving medications and healthcare to Indiana Medicaid patients for free or at a significantly reduced cost. Under proposed changes to the 340B Drug Pricing program, clinics could lose up to $20 million for medication and healthcare for vulnerable Hoosiers.

It's National Infant Immunization Week and Indiana Health Centers is committed to partnering with parents to protect children. We hope you will join us in recognizing the importance of childhood vaccinations.

Make sure your baby is born with protection by getting vaccinated while you are pregnant. You probably know that when you’re pregnant, you share everything with your baby. That means when you get vaccinated, you aren’t just protecting yourself—you are passing some protection on to your baby in the first few months of life when they are too young to build immunity on their own.

The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists recommend that pregnant people receive the flu, Tdap (whooping cough), COVID-19, and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccinations to keep you healthy and to help protect your baby after birth. For more information you can visit our maternal vaccination page and talk to your doctor at your next appointment.

Vaccines give you the power to protect your children from getting sick. Immunization has had an enormous impact on improving the health of children in the United States. Most parents today have never seen first-hand the devastating consequences that vaccine-preventable diseases have on a child, a family, or community. Protecting your child’s health and safety is very important. That’s why most parents choose immunization — it’s a powerful defense that’s safe, proven, and effective.

Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect infants, children, and teens from 16 potentially harmful diseases. Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly — especially in infants and young children. To see if your child is up to date, call your local IHC today.

Many steps are taken to make sure vaccines are safe. Before a vaccine is approved for use in the U.S., it goes through years of careful testing to make sure it is safe and effective. Highly trained scientists and doctors evaluate the results of these clinical studies. The sites where vaccines are made are inspected to make sure they follow strict manufacturing guidelines. The vaccine has to be licensed and monitored to make sure there are no safety concerns.

Like any medication, vaccines can cause side effects. In most cases, side effects are mild (e.g., soreness where the shot was given) but go away within a few days. Severe, long-lasting side effects from vaccines are rare.

Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases can and do still happen in communities across the US. Vaccines have greatly reduced infectious diseases that once regularly harmed or killed many infants, children, and adults. However, the germs that cause vaccine-preventable disease still exist and can be spread to people who are not protected by vaccines. For example, even though measles was declared to be eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, it has returned due to the rise in the number of children who aren’t protected by the MMR vaccination, leading to a number of outbreaks in recent years. In 2025, the United States reported a total of 2,283 confirmed measles cases.

Vaccination is important because it not only protects the person who gets the vaccine but also helps to keep diseases from spreading to others, like family members, neighbors, classmates, and other members of your communities.
