Fall Vaccine Choice Closes Soon

The vaccine choice window is almost over. Vaccine choice opened on October 26th and will end on Friday November 11th

During this time providers can fill out the Vaccine Choice Request Form to request a change in the brand of vaccine they receive for vaccines with more than one brand available.

Vaccines with only one brand option are included on all order sets.

Please use the Vaccine Choice Request Form to submit a change. You only need to submit a form if you are requesting a change. If you are keeping the same vaccines no form is needed.

Submit forms either by e-mail to WAChildhoodVaccines@doh.wa.gov or by fax to 360-236-3811.

If you have any questions please contact Jacki Stockdale at jacki.stockdale@doh.wa.gov

Some upcoming changes to vaccines are:

  • Sanofi Pasteur has stopped producing the DT vaccine. We have exhausted our supply of this vaccine and it is no longer available.
  • There are a couple of new vaccines coming. These products will be available to order in January. You may select them now and order sets will be updated with these vaccines in January.
    • GlaxoSmithKline’sMMR vaccine, Priorix.
    • Merck’s Pneumococcal 15-Valent Conjugate Vaccine, Vaxneuvance. This is NOT Prevnar15 and is NOT replacing Prevnar13.
