Provider Webinars Now Weekly

Thank you to all who filled out the survey on when to hold our consolidated webinars! Moving forward, the formerly bi-weekly provider webinars will be combined into one webinar open to all COVID-19 Vaccine Providers. This weekly webinar will occur on Tuesdays from 12:00-1:30 p.m. CT.

Please plan to attend to receive the latest news and updates about the Vaccine Management process and VAOS system. You can register for future webinars via the links on the right, or within the Resources tab in VAOS.


When is a Dose Considered as Wastage?

See the Wastage Reporting Table in the CDC’s Identification, Disposal, and Reporting of COVID-19 Vaccine Wastage document to determine when to report a dose as wasted.

Wastage does not negatively impact a provider but is simply a means for accounting for inventory. Please remember that if COVID-19 vaccines are wasted, providers must report the waste in VAOS and dispose of the vaccines properly. Do not send wasted doses back to DSHS. 


Expert Tip: New DocuSign Status Pane in VAOS

Remember that transfer requests are now time sensitive. If the CDC Redistribution Agreement form (signed by your CMO and CEO in DocuSign) is not completed within two weeks (14 days), your transfer request will be denied. You can now monitor the status of your CDC Redistribution Agreement form in VAOS under the DocuSign Status pane. Here, you will be able to see who has completed the DocuSign form and who still needs to sign/submit it.
