Thank you for all your responses to our inquiries about your current COVID-19 vaccine inventory. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put more emphasis on knowing expiration dates for COVID-19 vaccine that has already been distributed to providers. High quality data for lot number is critical to this effort. We may contact your organization if you reported immunizations with missing or incorrect lot numbers.
High quality data is also crucial to understanding immunization rates, supporting clients to complete their primary series and booster doses, and implementing reporting efforts. When reporting vaccine administration data always verify you are reporting:
- Right lot number
- Right vaccine code pair
- Right vaccine product name
- Right date of vaccination
- Right patient
Watch out for these common errors
- Ensure you are not entering COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies (e.g., Evusheld) as COVID-19 vaccine in MIIC.
- Ensure you are reporting historical vs. administered immunizations correctly.
- Report doses as “historical” when you are reporting doses that a client received from another facility.
- Report doses as “administered” when you are reporting doses given by your organization.
