 Hello Adult Vaccine Program Partners,
The AVP vaccine request opportunity for non-COVID/non-flu vaccines is now OPEN and will remain open for 3 weeks. The last day to place an AVP vaccine request for this order cycle will be on Tuesday March 10th. Please submit your requests as soon as you are able.
AVP vaccine requests take place in the IIS. Each facility will have an order set available in the IIS containing the vaccine types prioritized on their AVP provider agreement. This is a vaccine request, not an order, and requests may be reduced to stay within the AVP’s available budget. Please note that this year, we have reduced funding available for this ordering opportunity due to the addition of the COVID-19 vaccine to the program and Measles outbreak vaccine efforts.
If you do not have familiarity with placing a vaccine request or receiving vaccines in the IIS, you can review this AVP Vaccine Ordering and Receiving Guide for step by step instructions.
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. If you need assistance with Redcap, you can review this Step-by-Step Guide around navigating the Provider Portal in RedCAP.
Please note that if you attempt to place an AVP order, but are redirected to the reconciliation screen, you must reconcile your inventory before you can plan an order.
The next AVP order request opportunity for these vaccine types will be in August, so you may request a 6-month supply of vaccine during this request window. When placing your request, please keep in mind that AVP vaccines are a limited resource in high demand. Waste should be kept below 5%, so please order intentionally with regards to what your facility can administer. Previous years' wastage and administration data should be reviewed before placing your request.
These AVP vaccines can only be administered to uninsured adults 19+ years of age. Please keep in mind that Medicare and Medicaid are considered insurance and thus individuals with these plans do not qualify for AVP.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at WAAdultVaccines@doh.wa.gov.
Thank you for all that you do!
