Keywords / Description:

The Influenza Vaccine Availability Tracking System (IVATS) has been developed to address difficulties healthcare providers may experience when trying to determine which wholesale distributors or manufacturers have seasonal influenza vaccine in stock for sale or on order.

ATS resides on the National Influenza Vaccine Summit website. Information from approved, enrolled and participating wholesale vaccine distributors or manufacturers will be updated throughout the 2012-2013 influenza vaccination season.

It is projected that approximately 170 million doses of seasonal influenza vaccine will be available for this influenza vaccination season. With this more-than-ample supply anticipated, the objective is that influenza vaccination continue until vaccine is no longer available. IVATS can help to achieve this objective by linking healthcare providers with wholesale distributors and manufacturers.

Disclaimer: Please note that all information in IVATS is provided by wholesale distributors or manufacturers on a voluntary basis. IVATS is not intended to endorse or promote one wholesale distributor’s or manufacturer’s product over another, and all licensed, wholesale distributors or manufacturers are welcome and encouraged to enroll.
