Half (55%) of the physicians who did not participate in VFC were likely to refer a Medicaid-insured child, as compared with 6% of those who participated (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001). Physician likelihood to refer an uninsured child for vaccination, measured on a scale of 0 to 10 where 10 is very likely, decreased by a mean difference of 1.9 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.001) from pre- to post-VFC.
