Adult 317 vaccine providers may notice that their inventory is now differentiating between Adult and Pediatric!
Although they are now separated within ImmPact, it is important to rely on the actual doses in your storage unit. If you notice that the dose counts are off in ImmPact, please notify us, so we can correct it!
Moving forward it will be the responsibility of Adult providers to indicate the "Ordering Intent" (ADU vs. PED) in ImmPact when an Adult order arrives at your site. This is a required field when accepting your order into your inventory. Once the order intent is set for a PUBLIC lot, providers will not be able to change it on the transfer screens.
Please keep track of the email from ImmPact with the Order ID number.

CDC has released the latest U.S. Childhood/Adolescent and Adult Immunization Schedules. View and use the schedules.
The Holiday Shipping Calendar addresses McKesson, Pfizer COVID Direct Ship, & Merck Direct Ship deliveries.
If you are expecting orders to arrive before the holidays, please keep in mind that routine shipments from McKesson can take up to 4 business days to process before they are shipped. Also, note that shipments may take longer than 4 days to process and ship if the provider does not have regular business hours (M-F 8am-5pm).
Providers are strongly encouraged to order early during the winter holidays. Providers are also encouraged to maintain a minimum of 4 weeks of inventory to prevent vaccine outages if orders are delayed due to weather and/or carrier interruptions.
Shipments may arrive on any day of the week, including Mondays, based on the way business hours are entered in VTrckS.
AstraZeneca has notified CDC that there is a change to the shelf life for two specific lots (Lots TH2989 and TH2989B) of FluMist vaccine (NDC 66019-310-10). The expiry for these two lots (TH2989 and TH2989B) was found to be shorter (by 7 days) than expected as part of routine stability testing. The safety and effectiveness of these vaccines is not impacted.
Please see the Healthcare Provider letter from AstraZeneca.
If you have questions about the updated shelf life, please contact AstraZeneca at 1-800-236-9933. |
