The Pfizer Tri-Sucrose COVID-19 vaccine has a 12-month expiration if it is kept in ultra-cold/dry ice. Within the 12 months, it can be kept in the refrigerator for 10 weeks. The expiration date is still 12 months total. 

Some providers are still receiving this pediatric vaccine this week in their deliveries. Unfortunately, there is no extension on this vaccine, and it will expire at the end of next week.  

Although it is less than 10 weeks, it will hit the 12-month mark since production and be expired vaccine.

The Federal CDC as well as the Maine Immunization Program recognize that this may increase wastage of the vaccine at no fault of providers. New batches of this vaccine will be available very soon. The vaccine will expire 12 months after the manufacture date on the vial.
