Influenza Vaccine Availability Tracking System (IVATS)

                       

The Influenza Vaccine Availability Tracking System (IVATS) was developed to address the difficulty health care providers may experience when trying to determine which wholesale distributors or manufacturers have influenza vaccine in stock for sale or on order.  It is intended for use by: (1) health care providers seeking vaccine; and (2) influenza vaccine wholesale distributors or manufacturers with vaccine in stock for sale and/or on order.

IVATS resides on the National Influenza Vaccine Summit Web Site.  Information from approved, enrolled and participating wholesale vaccine distributors or manufacturers will be updated every other Friday throughout the 2007-2008 influenza vaccination season.

A record number of 132 million doses of influenza vaccine have been projected for the 2007-2008 influenza season.  With this more-than-ample supply anticipated, the objective is that influenza vaccination occurs until vaccine is no longer available.  IVATS can help to achieve this objective by linking health care providers with wholesale distributors or manufacturers.
