COVID-19 Vaccine Update June 7 and J&J Vaccine Expiration Survey
Survey for Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine Expiration
ODH is surveying pharmacies to assess expiration dates for state-allocated J&J vaccines. If your pharmacy received J&J vaccines from ODH, please respond to this J&J Vaccine Expiration Survey to verify the expiration dates for J&J vaccines in your possession by close of business today.
New Vaccine Ordering Procedure Launched
Effective Monday, June 7, all enrolled COVID-19 vaccine providers will be required to directly order COVID-19 vaccine doses each week using the Vaccine Ordering Management System (VOMS). This includes first and second doses of the Pfizer and Moderna products, as well as the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine. As this weekly responsibility shifts from ODH to providers, slides from the previous week’s training webinar are available here. Please email Myriam Shaw Ojeda at mshawojeda@ohiopharmacists.org with any feedback or issues you may face with the new ordering system.
