 Hello Adult Vaccine Program Partners,
The AVP vaccine request opportunity for non-COVID/non-flu vaccines is now OPEN.
The last day to place an AVP vaccine request for this order cycle will be on August 26. We ask that you submit your requests as soon as possible.
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.
Here are some important reminders:
- Only submit one vaccine request in the IIS for your facility for this specific order request.
- Your facility will have an order set available in the IIS containing the vaccine types prioritized on your AVP provider agreement.
- This is a vaccine request, not an order, and requests may be reduced to stay within the AVP’s available budget.
- Final orders will be placed in late September after our vaccine allocation process concludes.
In order to receive an allocation of AVP vaccine, your facility’s provider agreement and accountability must be current. This includes:
- The approval of your facility's 2026-2027 AVP Provider Agreement in Redcap with submission before the stated deadline of July 17, 2026.
- The submission of up-to-date inventory within the last 14 days in the IIS. This document, starting on page 3, will walk you through this process.
- 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 temperature log submission in Redcap.
The next AVP order request opportunity for these vaccine types will be in March, 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 based on previous years and carefully consider the amount you request.
AVP vaccines can only be administered to uninsured adults 19+ years of age. Medicare and Medicaid are considered insurance, so individuals with these plans do not qualify for AVP.
We will send out additional communications around the ordering process for AVP COVID-19 and flu vaccine ordering in the coming weeks. These vaccine types will be in separate AVP order sets, which are not yet available.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at WAAdultVaccines@doh.wa.gov.
Thank you for all that you do!
Providers who selected COVID-19 or flu vaccine as a top 5 priority in their 2026-2027 AVP Provider agreement will have access to the corresponding AVP COVID-19 or flu order sets in the IIS when ordering becomes available.
Ordering timelines are dependent on several factors, including product availability, manufacturer shipments, and federal approval processes.
AVP Flu Vaccine
- Ordering timeline is dependent on FDA approval and receipt of doses from manufacturers
- Based on recent seasons, ordering is expected to open between mid-August and Labor Day
AVP COVID-19 Vaccine
- Ordering timeline is dependent on FDA approval and receipt of doses from manufacturers
- Based on previous seasons, ordering is expected to open in early October
As of April 2026, the Childhood and Adult Vaccine Programs use the New Vaccine Loss Survey (VLS) in REDCap for providers to report vaccine loss.
If you report a monthly vaccine loss of $2,500 or more in WAIIS, you will receive a REDCap Vaccine Loss Survey link by email on the first Wednesday of each month.
Important: Continue to display the Vaccine Loss Log near your storage units to track monthly waste, and retain the form for three years. You no longer need to submit the log by email.
Continuing education credits are once again available for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who complete the Vaccine Coordinator Training. Thank you for your patience!
