Updated Covid Vaccine Product Guide and Tools for Understanding BUD and Manufacturer Expiration Date

This email is being sent to VFC, Non-VFC and Covid-19 Providers in Oakland County, Michigan by the Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) Immunization Action Plan (IAP)

Dear Immunization Partner,

Oakland County Covid-19 Vaccine Partnership is sharing a few helpful tools to assist you with navigating the different Covid-19 vaccine products and how to determine the vaccine’s appropriate expiration, either due to “beyond use” or manufacturer’s expiration date.  Please take some time to read and review the attached documents that OCHD developed and the three links below from the CDC (one is a training video!) and another resource we found from the California Covid-19 Vaccine Program.  As always, please be mindful of new information and updates to previously issued guidance as this information changes very rapidly!
