Order Processing Updates:

The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program is currently reviewing and approving orders without delay. McKesson held all orders due to severe weather conditions on Monday, February 5, 2024 so there will not be any shipments on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. McKesson has removed their hold on orders this morning, Tuesday, February 6, and will resume shipping orders today for deliveries starting tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7.  Pfizer and Merck continue to ship VFC vaccine orders without delay. We will provide updates here as we hear from McKesson.

 

Regular Vaccine Supply Information:

 

Td Vaccine:

Until further notice, CDC has instituted temporary ordering controls to mitigate a supply constraint for Td vaccine. Once our allocation is exceeded for each month, Td vaccine will be unavailable to order until our allocation is refreshed the following month. Please remember to order and administer Tdap instead of Td whenever possible.

RSV

Nirsevimab/Beyfortus™: The 100 mg presentation is no longer available, but we continue to have limited supply of the 50 mg presentation available. All VFC Providers may order in limited quantities as supply exists. Doses will be approved based on ordering history of index routine infant vaccines (hepatitis B vaccine birth doses for hospitals, first doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for all other providers).

Abrysvo®: unavailable for ordering until the fall of 2024. Please store any remaining doses under appropriate storage conditions through the expiration date.

COVID-19 Vaccine:

COVID-19 vaccine is now available to order from the VFC Program. To allow for smaller but more frequent orders, the VFC Program is allowing all providers to order COVID-19 vaccines monthly, but you may need to report your full VFC vaccine inventory if your last order was more than 30 days ago. Order enough COVID-19 vaccine that can be used within the monthly order timeframe, but keep in mind that vaccine requests may be reduced based on available supply allocations from CDC. For more information, please refer to the VFC communication that was sent on September 19, 2023.

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

As of September 1, 2023, Prevnar 13 is no longer available. However, Prevnar 20 (NDC: 00005-2000-10) and Vaxneuvance (NDC: 00006-4329-03) are still available for ordering.

Meningococcal Vaccine:

As of September 1, 2023, the new Menveo one-vial is available for ordering through the VFC Program. However, the existing Menveo two-vial presentation will be available in limited amounts, and it will be important to target this product for use in children aged 2 months through 2 years of age at high risk for Meningococcal disease.  This product is the only meningococcal conjugate vaccine approved for use in this age group. Requests for the limited Menveo two-vial vaccine will have a minimum order size of 1 dose with a maximum request of 5 doses.
