The North Carolina Immunization Program (NCIP) is offering additional doses of seasonal influenza vaccines specifically for farmworkers. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance vaccination efforts due to the ongoing circulation of H5 avian influenza, which has been identified in wild birds, poultry, and dairy cattle across the United States, including within North Carolina. By prioritizing flu vaccinations for farmworkers, we aim to lower their risk of developing severe illness related to seasonal flu and help prevent the spread of disease.
The purpose of this communication is to notify North Carolina Immunization Program (NCIP) providers that McKesson is holding all Vaccines for Children (VFC) orders for our state due to extreme weather conditions. Orders will not ship Tuesday, 1/21/2025.We understand the importance of timely vaccine delivery and are closely monitoring the situation. We will keep you updated on any changes or new information as soon as we receive it.
