ASTHO NACCHO Extended MCM Distribution and Dispensing...

This document outlines key topics, relevant resources, and current promising practices state and local MCM planners should consider when creating and implementing plans to transition emergency mass dispensing operations from the initial 10-day antibiotic distribution and dispensing effort to distributing and dispensing extended post-exposure prophylactic MCMs. This includes 50-day antibiotic supply, three shot vaccine series, and treatment supplies. The document covers a range of distribution and dispensing topics including maintaining essential functions, inventory management, tracking adverse events, and activation timelines.
