Flu vaccine ordering is now open for AVP providers who prioritized flu vaccine in the top 5 priorities on their provider agreement.
There will be a separate order set available for AVP flu vaccine. Use this AVP COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccine Ordering & Receiving Guide (PDF) to help you create orders electronically and receive them into your inventory in the IIS.
Here are some important reminders:
- Vaccine waste should be kept below 5%. Please request one month's worth of vaccine at a time.
- You may place ongoing orders as often as needed, while supplies last
- Orders may be reduced during the vaccine allocation process
Flu vaccine orders will be processed weekly on Tuesdays. Orders need to be in "pending state approval status" in the IIS by close of business Monday. Please allow for at least 3 days for order approval from time of submission for accountability checks. Orders will be pulled from the IIS at 8am on Tuesday and checked against the allocation available from the CDC.
The Washington Department of Health (DOH) will host a webinar on Thursday, September 11th to discuss influenza, COVID-19 and RSV epidemiology, vaccination coverage, clinical overview, vaccine recommendations, and vaccine ordering and distribution. The webinar will be recorded and continuing education (CE) credits will be available for nurses, medical assistants, and pharmacists/pharmacy technicians. Please note that a Train.org account is required to register for the webinar and receive CE credits.
Date: September 11, 2025
Time: 12 noon PDT
