Survey: Availability of Short-Dated MMR Vaccine (Response Requested COB Thursday)

Dear Valued Partners,

The North Carolina Immunization Program (NCIP) is exploring a one-time opportunity to share a limited quantity of MMR vaccines that expire June 5, 2026. These doses may be administered to any patient regardless of insurance status at no cost.

We are asking counties/jurisdictions to complete a brief survey to indicate interest, requested quantity, and to describe any utilization plans. Please submit your response by Thursday, March 12, 2026 EOD.

Note: 

• The vaccine will be provided at no cost to your county/jurisdiction.
• Providers may not bill clients or other third-party payers (insurance/Medicaid) for the vaccine cost.
• Providers may bill a client’s insurance/Medicaid for the vaccine administration fee, if applicable.

How to contact us: 

For assistance, please contact the NCIP Help Desk by phone at 1.877.USE.NCIR (873-6247) or by email.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and dedication to improving immunization outcomes in North Carolina.

In Health, 
NC Department of Health and Human Services
