Updated COVID-19 vaccine cooler return process

Effective Feb. 14, providers are no longer receiving UPS return labels for any size frozen shipping container for McKesson Specialty Health COVID-19 shipments. Dispose of frozen shipping containers and packing materials as you would any other waste. Providers are encouraged to recycle the cardboard components through their local recycling program. To help inform providers about this change, McKesson will include a flyer in vaccine shipments for the next few weeks.

If you have any questions, please contact McKesson COVID Customer Care at (833) 343-2703 (Mon – Fri, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) or email COVIDVaccineSupport@McKesson.com.

• Seven lots with the earliest expiration represent lots in the field and CDC depots.
• Five lots with the latest expiration for Moderna monovalent vaccines are all in the warehouse.
