Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC
<https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/covid-19-vaccines-us.html>
During the webinar Q & A section, we discussed the importance of having a vaccine management and emergency response plan. This is something that is required for VFC providers and highly recommended for all vaccine providers. Having a plan in place, will help your facility stay organized, serve as a reference and training tool, provide guidance for emergencies, and ensure proper vaccine management. MDHHS has an existing fillable worksheet that was created for the VFC program that can be used as a guide for COVID-19 providers who need assistance in creating an emergency response plan.
