Greetings,

Attention Pandemic Providers:

Moderna Monovalent COVID-19 Vaccine – Expiry/Stock-Out Alert

All Moderna adult (12+) and pediatric (6-11) monovalent COVID-19 vaccines will reach their expiry in early April.
Moderna is not seeking a shelf-life extension for these vaccines.
Ordering for Moderna adult (12+) and pediatric (6-11) monovalent COVID-19 vaccines in OSIIS will no longer be available after March 9^th, 2023
Providers must submit their orders by COB on March 9^th.
Ordering for Moderna bivalent vaccines for all age groups will remain available.
Please note that providers will need to order alternative vaccines from Pfizer (ages 6 and older) and Novavax (aged 12 and older) for individuals seeking monovalent, primary series vaccines; we strongly encourage providers to prepare accordingly.
Administration sites should be mindful of patients starting their primary series with Moderna adult (12+) or pediatric (6-11) monovalent vaccines.
- Depending on the date, they may not be able to complete their primary series with this product.
  - In this case, a different COVID-19 vaccine may be administered to complete the primary series at a minimum interval of 28 days from the last COVID-19 vaccine dose. Please read CDC guidance on interchanging COVID-19 vaccines here.
- Pfizer (12+ and 5-11) and Novavax (12+) monovalent vaccines remain available for ordering for primary series vaccination. There is ample supply of both products, and providers can order additional supply.

Thank you,
