INFLUENZA UPDATES

Q&As
Several new Q&As have been posted about nationwide allocation:

  • What are CDC and state and local governments doing to allocate
    vaccine?
  • What is the supply of influenza vaccine available for distribution
     at this time? When will shipment occur?
  • How will this remaining supply of vaccine be allocated and
    distributed?
  • When will the 3 million contract doses be available?
  • When will the 8 million remaining doses be available?
  • Who is included in the allocation plan?
  • What is the apportionment formula that is used to determine
    states' allocation of vaccine?
  • What is the Minnesota Multi-State Contract and how does it
    affect the current allocation plan?
  • Are vaccine doses that might be acquired from foreign sources
    later in the season included in these distributions?
  • Are the nasal-spray vaccine doses included in either of these
    allocations?
  • Are all distributors of the inactivated influenza vaccine charging
    the same price?
  • Who decides which distributor is used?
  • Who is deciding which providers will receive influenza vaccine?
  • How long will it take for a provider to receive vaccine once the
    state has submitted the order information to CDC?
  • What should providers do if they do not have enough vaccine to
    vaccinate their priority patients?
  • What is the Secure Data Network and how can I gain access?
