You need to document wasted vaccines in CT WiZ to successfully complete a vaccine reconciliation. Wasted vaccines should be properly disposed of and adjusted out of CT WiZ inventory.
Reasons vaccines may be wasted include:
- Broken vials/syringes
- Partial vials of vaccine
- Vaccine that has been drawn but not administered
You need to document a vaccine return in CT WiZ for unopened, full vaccines to be returned to the manufacturer.
Reasons vaccines may be returned include:
- Vaccine has expired
- Vaccine is no longer viable due to a temperature excursion
The Main Contact/Shipping Contact will receive a UPS Quantum Return Label from a 'no reply e-mail' to return doses to the manufacturer once a vaccine return is approved in CT WiZ and submitted to the manufacturer.
All vaccines wasted and returned are reviewed by the Department of Public Health Vaccine Coordinator.
