Orders processed after January 3rd will not contain the FluMist vaccine.
Unfortunately, several orders processed before this date that had shipping delays due to weather, received expired FluMist vaccine.
This vaccine qualifies for the FluMist replacement Program. All requests need to be made by 5:00pm this Friday, January 31st.
Please reach out to the FluMist Replacement Program for CDC at 1-877-633-7375 or by e-mailing flumistreplacement@mckesson.com between 7:00 am-7:00 pm CST (5:00 am-5:00pm PST).
TDVax is no longer available for order as the manufacturer has ceased production of this vaccine.
Orders placed after January 7th that included TDVax will not receive the vaccine. Additionally, some orders placed in late December and early January that experienced shipping delays may not receive TDVax. When orders containing unviable vaccines were returned to McKesson, new vaccines had to be selected, but by that time, TDVax was no longer available.
All providers should now have Tenivac Td vaccine available to order. Providers who did not receive the originally ordered TDVax must submit a new order for Tenivac.
The Td vaccine is no longer under allocation; however, we kindly ask providers to be mindful of the quantities they order for use.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The recording of the January 9th CVP Training Series: Vaccine Coordinator Training Overview is now available. The slides from that training are also available for reference. The recorded training providers guidance for completing the new annually required trainings. This new DOH Vaccine Coordinator Training takes the place of the annual You Call the Shots training.
You can find this training and other past trainings, as well as announcements for future training opportunities, on the CVP Training webpage.
Now is a good time to ensure your clinic is prepared for the upcoming Childhood Vaccine Program provider agreement renewal period which occurs between March and April this year. To help your agreement renewal go smoothly please ensure:
- All thermometer calibrations are up to date.
- Gather your practice profile data for the calendar year 1/1/24-12/31/24. Instructions for generating a VFC Profile Report in the IIS can be found in the Provider Agreement Renewal Guide.
- Your primary and backup vaccine coordinators have completed the new annual training requirements in 2025. Primary and back-up vaccine coordinators must complete this annual training requirement within the current calendar year, prior to their provider agreement renewal deadline. It is also best practice to have all staff who handle and administer vaccines complete the training as well.
Remember that training requirements have changed this year. You Call the Shots modules have been replaced by the Childhood Vaccine Program's new annual Vaccine Coordinator Training.
Please join us Thursday, February 20, 2025 for our next CVP Training Series. This month we will be covering the annual provider agreement renewal process.

It takes just a few minutes, and your input will make a difference!
