Flu Vaccine Order Deadline Extended

Author: APCI Staff/Wednesday, April 15, 2020/Categories: Professional and Clinical Affairs

The deadline to order flu vaccines from FFF and Seqirus has been extended until May 1 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

APCI has an agreement with Seqirus to provide flu vaccine, either directly from the manufacturer or through FFF Enterprises, at contract pricing for all Seqirus products. These products are Flucelvax, Fluad (senior vaccine) and Afluria.

FFF Enterprises also carries flu vaccine across all other manufacturers for all APCI member pharmacies including Sanofi Pasteur (Fluzone and Fluzone HD), GSK (Fluarix and Flulaval), and AstraZeneca (Flumist). This allows APCI members to shop all manufacturers in order to get vaccine into pharmacies as quickly as possible in case of manufacturing issues.

APCI recommends ordering the right number of doses of the senior vaccine (Fluad and Fluzone HD) for patients ages 65 and older. Both Fluad and Fluzone HD will be quadrivalent this year.

Although APCI has contract pricing and delivery for Seqirus products, FFF’s normal delivery schedule starts as early as August and continues through October. APCI members are able to select a date when they would like to receive the vaccine.

Orders need to be placed by May 1 in order to confirm delivery dates.
