Subject: Upcoming Expiration of J&J COVID-19 Vaccine
Date: May 4, 2023
This is a reminder that all remaining doses of J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine in the United States will expire on May 6, 2023. All providers who still have J&J/Janssen COVID-19 in their inventory should prepare to clear it from their inventory and discontinue further administration of this vaccine.
Providers must:
- dispose of expired COVID-19 vaccine in their medical waste
- report disposed as wastage in VTrckS
The administration of expired vaccines continues to be a significant issue based on VAERS reporting. You can help prevent these errors by ensuring J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is removed from your storage units and disposing of it properly.
Should you have any questions, please contact the Maine Immunization Program at (207) 287-3746 or email ImmunizeME.DHHS@maine.gov.
