Please be aware that Mckesson is experiencing shipment delays due to adverse weather conditions. We currently do not have information on expected delivery time frames for impacted orders. The temporary loss of the Federal Aviation Administration’ Notice to Air Missions system this morning has also delayed commercial flights and may result in shipment delays for both Moderna and Pfizer deliveries. 

As previously mentioned, California is experiencing severe rainstorms, wind, and power outages in some areas, which will not only impact shipments but also vaccine management and storage. Please take a moment to review the following resources and plan ahead. 

1. Vaccine Management Plan: Review, update if necessary, and ensure it is easily accessible to staff. 
2. For Vaccine-Related Emergencies: Review the COVID-19 Provider Operations Manual (POM) for responding to vaccine‐related emergencies and be prepared to know how to respond in a power outage.
3. Digital Data Loggers (DDLs): Replace batteries in digital data loggers (DDLs) to ensure continued operation and monitoring of storage unit temperatures during power outages.
4. View outages reported by your utility company in your area.
