Flu Vaccine Programs: Ordering Information for Health Care Providers

Providers should contact their regular distributors or the vaccine manufacturers. Providers who meet eligibility criteria (local public health centers, nonprofit organizations, and community organizations who serve clients who are low-income, under-insured or uninsured) may qualify for free vaccine from our Influenza Vaccine Distribution program (see below).

Seasonal Flu Vaccine Distribution Program for Clinics Serving Low Income or Uninsured Clients

Open enrollment for the Flu Vaccine Distribution Program is limited to once per year.  All 2020-2021 program applications are due by Friday, August 21, 2020.  If your organization is interested in applying to receive vaccine from SFDPH, please review the program guidelines.  If your organization meets the eligibility criteria, contact the SFDPH immunization Program at (415) 554-2955 to request the application materials.

Flu Program Participant Requirements and Resources

Program participants agree to follow California Department of Public Health (CDPH) standards for storage and handling of vaccine.  Prior to submitting your application, your Primary Vaccine Coordinator and two Back-Up Coordinators must thoroughly read the current SFDPH Vaccine Management Plan.  This Plan is a compilation of resources designed to help your clinic with vaccine administration, ordering, storage and handling.

Annually and following any staffing change, program participants should update the following documents and post them clearly on or near the vaccine storage unit:

  • SFDPH Emergency Vaccine Management Plan
  • Key Staff Contacts Form

Two usage reports are due each flu season:

  • Mid-Year Usage Report due January, 2021
  • Final Usage Report due June, 2021

Other useful flu program partner resources:

  • Flu Authorization Record, 2020-21
  • Transporting Refrigerated Vaccine (VFC Job Aide)
