Vaccine Inventory Management Tips

  • 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 and the Provider Operations Manual 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.
