CDC places updated status information about each order on an electronic bulletin board service. The Project enters information concerning the receipt of each bulk vaccine order. Funds are then released to pay for the order. The Project's vaccine inventory is automatically adjusted when the Project enters receipt information concerning a bulk vaccine order, and when the Project enters distribution information concerning a vaccine sent to a requesting provider. The amount for each vaccine is based on a formula using the provider's VFC enrollment information.
Providers report the number of doses administered during a specific time period.
The number of doses can be compared to the amount of doses distributed to the provider. Providers report the amount of inventory on hand for a specific date. A person at the Project designated as security administrator can set limits on the transactions and utilities each user can perform.
