Activity Overview

Once a vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is approved or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, there will be a rapid deployment of vaccine doses and administration supplies allocated for Phase 1 administration. Officials from Operation Warp Speed (OWS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently offered a briefing on the OWS COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Strategy that revealed more information on distribution logistics. Join us for this webinar to hear from Dr. Anita Patel, Pharm.D., MSc, Deputy, Distribution and Data, CDC Vaccine Task Force who will give insight into planning considerations for ordering, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, ASHP staff will share an update on resources available related to COVID-19 vaccine candidates.

Disclosures

In accordance with the ACPE's and ACCME's Standards for Commercial Support, anyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity is required to disclose to the accredited provider their relevant financial relationships. In accordance with these Standards, all potential conflicts of interest have been resolved. An individual has a relevant financial relationship if he or she (or spouse/domestic partner) has a financial relationship in any amount occurring in the last 12 months with a commercial interest whose products or services are discussed in the activity content over which the individual has control.

As defined by ACCME, a commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The Standards for Commercial Support do not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The existence or non-existence of relevant financial relationships will be disclosed to the activity audience. All identified conflicts of interest must be resolved prior to the activity.

  • All planners, presenters, reviewers, and ASHP staff report no financial relationships relevant to this activity.
