myCAvax Reminder


Ordering Limited by Storage Capacities  

Providers will not be able to order a specific product if the Location Account has a Storage Unit that does not match the product's Transport Options. If the required Storage Units are not available at the location, the product row is disabled on the vaccine ordering screen. Refer to the Managing Storage Units job aid for more information. 


 

Expiration Date Look-Up Tools 

Please continue to check vaccine expiration dates using the following tools: 

  • Novavax Expiration Date Look-Up
  • Pfizer Expiration Date Look-Up
  • Moderna Expiration Date Look-Up
  • Janssen (J&J) Expiration Date Look-Up

 

Flu and COVID-19 Vaccine Coadministration 


Flu and COVID-19 vaccine coadministration is safe. 


Providers should offer influenza and COVID-19 vaccines to eligible patients at the same visit. Extensive experience with non-COVID 19 vaccines has demonstrated that immunogenicity and adverse event profiles are similar when vaccines are administered simultaneously as when they are administered alone. COVID-19 vaccines administered with seasonal influenza vaccine (SIV) showed similar or slightly higher reactogenicity, however no specific safety concerns were identified.
