Never miss a vaccination opportunity because of fear of vaccine wastage!


Vaccine wastage is expected, may be unavoidable, and will even increase as vaccine rollout continues because

  • more providers, including smaller provider sites, are now receiving vaccine;
  • vaccine continues to be available only as multi-dose vials; and
  • vials must often be punctured without using the full number of doses printed on the label.

Do your best to follow clinical and inventory management best practices to maximize vaccinations and minimize dose wastage when possible. For further information, please visit Missed Vaccination Opportunities & Wastage Job Aid. Please continue to Report Doses Spoiled, Expired or Wasted.
