At the end of each month, count your inventory and pay special attention to the expiration dates of your vaccines. For any vaccine that will expire within 60 days, if you will be able to use it, no problem. If you will not be able to use it all, call your supplier immediately. In most cases, it can be moved to another clinic where it will be used before it expires. Remember, the monthly form C-5, Number of Doses Administered by Age Groups is a vital tool to help you properly store and handle TVFC vaccines.
Vaccines are money, and every dose wasted is like throwing money away.
Negligent handling of TVFC vaccines may result in your clinic being billed for the dollar value of the vaccines lost. Texas Department of Health, Immunization Division. All Rights Reserved.
