Novavax vaccine doses currently being shipped have an expiry of November 30, 2024. However, there are earlier shipped doses that expire on October 31, 2024. Providers should continue to use this vaccine right up until the expiry date.
Once expired, doses should be reported as expired waste in myCAvax and returned to McKesson, per usual.
Novavax will be requesting a shelf-life extension for doses that have an expiry of November 30, 2024, and beyond during the respiratory virus season. CDPH will notify providers if/when shelf-life extensions are granted. To minimize vaccine wastage, we encourage placing smaller, more frequent orders and limiting quantities to the amount of vaccine that can be utilized within a two-week period.
An Expiration Look-Up Tool is available for providers to check for most up-to-date information about expiry administration.
