This email is to inform you of two important updates regarding vaccine availability.
MassBiologics’ Td Vaccine Discontinuation
Please be advised that MassBiologics (TdVax™) is being discontinued. However, there is ample supply of Sanofi’s Td vaccine available for ordering. For additional details, refer to this previous communication.
Providers may continue to order remaining, non-expired lots of TdVax™ Td vaccine for VFC-eligible patients until today, Jan. 10, 2025, at 3 p.m. After this date, only Sanofi’s Td vaccines (NDC #49281-0215-10 and NDC #49281-0215-15) will be available for ordering.
Guidance for Vaccination Providers
While Tdap vaccine continues to be an acceptable alternative to Td vaccine (unless the individual has a specific contraindication to pertussis containing vaccines) providers can now resume vaccinating with Td following the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
FluMist® No Longer Available for Ordering
FluMist® is no longer available for ordering this season. If you need additional flu vaccine, refer to the Flu Vaccine Product Availability and Ordering memo for alternative ordering options.
How to contact us
For assistance with ordering, please contact the NCIR Help Desk by phone: 1-877-USE-NCIR (1-877-873-6247) or by email at ncirhelp@dhhs.nc.gov.
