Flu vaccine shipping soon

We are happy to announce that 2026-27 UUAV flu vaccine will begin shipping to providers this week. Throughout the season we will continue to ship flu vaccine orders as doses become available from the manufacturers. To ensure all UUAV providers have flu vaccine early in the season, and because different brands and presentations become available at different times, you may not receive all of your doses in one shipment. Sites can expect to receive a few small shipments throughout the distribution season. You will receive a confirmation email when we process your order, and you can check the status of your prebook requests at any time in MIIC. Review Special Vaccine Event User Guide (PDF) for more details. 

Get ready for flu season 

  1. To ensure adequate supply for larger-scale influenza vaccination clinics (e.g., walk-up or drive-thru clinics), consider scheduling them for late October to early November.
  2. Check the status of your flu orders in MIIC under “manage special vaccine event.” As flu vaccine doses become available from the manufacturers, MDH staff will process your flu prebook vaccine orders in MIIC. More information about viewing special event vaccine requests in MIIC is available at Special Event Vaccine Request.
  3. Read the 2026-27 Minnesota Influenza (Flu) Vaccination Guide when it is posted online. Get an email alert when the flu guide and other flu materials are updated by subscribing to MDH Influenza Information for Health Professionals.
