Reminder: AVP Ordering for Non-COVID-19/ Non-flu Vaccines closes tomorrow, February 25, 2025

The AVP vaccine request opportunity for non-COVID/non-flu vaccines will close tomorrow, Tuesday February 25th. Please submit your requests ASAP.

As a reminder, the vaccines that are available to you in your order set are the top 5 vaccines prioritized in your facility's AVP provider agreement.

In order to receive an allocation of AVP vaccine, your facility’s provider agreement and accountability must be current. This includes the submission of up-to-date inventory in the IIS, and temperature log submission in Redcap, including any outstanding items. Please ensure that your facility inventory is accurate in the IIS, as current inventory can affect a site's allocation. 

If we have reached out to you regarding missing accountability items, please complete them as soon as possible as they will prevent you from receiving a vaccine allocation.

Please contact us as soon as possible with questions!
