September and October COVID-19 Vaccine Expiration Dates

Enrolled providers in the California COVID-19 Vaccination Program have vaccine inventory that may expire soon, including many lots of the Pfizer vaccine. Be sure to reference the table of expiring lots below for a detailed list by product. Please see the communication about the vaccine expiry extension for Pfizer Tris-sucrose (12+, gray cap) and Pfizer pediatric (5-11 years, orange cap) vaccine products. Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) received an expiration extension as well, please see this communication to learn more.

We encourage all providers to:

• check your inventory
• dispose of expired vaccine
• update vaccine inventory records in VaccineFinder
• report vaccine waste in myCAvax
• utilize the Vaccine Marketplace

Please reference the Vaccine Management Checklist job aid for detailed guidance and links to other helpful resources. Continue to monitor expiration dates of vaccine inventory and follow a first-in, first-out inventory management practice to ensure that vaccines soon to expire are used first.
