Key Notes
- Delivery windows are dependent on provider’s days/hours of operation. Update hours in myCAvax for any holiday or temporary closures.
- If vaccine inventory or accountability corrections are needed prior to order approval, VFA Program staff will notify the clinic’s Vaccine Coordinator. Please respond as soon as possible to prevent delays in order approval. Orders needing correction will be held in queue until requested corrections are resolved or orders will expire after 2 weeks of pending corrections.
