Updates

  • Stop administration and return 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine using the Vaccine Return process once you receive your first shipment of the 2026-2027 formulation. 
    • Reconcile inventory of 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccines in the IIS using the category "Spoiled" and reason "Expired BUD"
    • Remember to submit the return before inactivating the vaccine in the IIS
  • FluMist is currently unavailable to order in the IIS as our allocation has been exhausted. 
    • Ordering will resume when additional allocation is received. 

Ordering Guidance

  • Use last year's data to plan orders. Review your clinic's monthly vaccine administration from the 25-26 respiratory season and use the Recommended Order Quantity (ROQ) calculation to determine appropriate quantities.
    • Use the Pediatric Respiratory Doses Administered Spreadsheet 2025-26 to review administration data from past seasons. Check out the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet to see data for RSV, Flu, and COVID-19 vaccines. 
    • The ROQ calculator helps determine how many doses of vaccine your facility should order. The calculator does not account for seasonality or other factors that may impact need.
  • If there is not enough vaccine in allocation, orders will be reduced based on the Vaccine Allocation and Equity Plan
  • Allow at least 3 days for order approval from time of submission for accountability checks
  • Orders need to be in "Pending State Approval" status in the IIS by close of business the weekday before the processing day

As the seasons change and we move into the stormier months, please take a minute to review your facility's Vaccine Management Plan.

Remember - in an emergency, a transfer request does not need to be completed or require pre-approval for emergency transport. Emergency transport should be in accordance with your facility's Vaccine Management Plan.

Please stay safe during severe weather and emergencies, and remember to prioritize the safety of yourself, your staff, and your patients!
