On the 1st of each month, a link to upload temperature logs will be sent to the primary and backup vaccine coordinator(s) at each facility via an automated email from WAAdultVaccines@doh.wa.gov. This link will be the same every month, so it can be bookmarked and saved in the browser.

Vaccine Allocation Plan
The Vaccine Allocation Plan (PDF) describes the Department of Health’s (DOH) vaccine allocation strategy for fall respiratory immunization products during times of limited supply. This includes a strategy to address (a) phased in or limited supply at the beginning of the season or start-up of a new product, and (b) limited supply or production issues leading to limited product availability for a specified period.
During times of limited availability of a vaccine or immunization product, our goal is to balance accessibility, supply, and demand. The goal is to implement an approach that equitably offers products across the state and mitigates disparities in access. Allocation strategies are used until supply meets demand.
