Founded in 2008, Vax Care's mission is to remove operational, financial, and administrative barriers that limit vaccine access and adoption. Through its end-to-end care delivery platform, Vax Care enables physician practices, health systems, and other healthcare organizations to offer comprehensive immunization programs without inventory risk, operational burden, or reimbursement complexity. By managing vaccine procurement, inventory, compliance, and billing, Vax Care allows providers to focus on patient care while expanding access to life-saving vaccines.

After more than a decade of disciplined execution and continuous innovation, Vax Care partners with over 5,000 providers and has become one of the Top 10 buyers-and-billers of vaccines in the nation. The company has grown well beyond its original vision and is now entering its next phase of scaled expansion.

Today, Vax Care partners with a broad and growing base of independent practices and health systems nationwide. The company is entering a pivotal phase of growth, with a clear ambition to scale revenue from approximately $730M in 2025 to $2B by 2029, driven by deeper penetration of existing markets, scaled expansion within community and regional health systems, and the introduction of new commercial offerings.

In June 2025, Blackstone acquired Vax Care and is committed to supporting the organization through this next phase of growth. Blackstone is a private equity firm based in New York. The firm seeks to invest in real estate, public debt, private equity, infrastructure, life sciences, growth equity, opportunistic, non‑investment grade credit, real assets, and secondary funds. This firm is a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA).
