  FFF Begins Shipping Influenza Vaccine!  
 

FFF is very pleased to announce that we began shipping Fluvirin® vial orders, yesterday – the earliest shipping date in recent years! Shipments are beginning for some early Traditional Order customers and MyFluVaccine customers with early Fluvirin vial delivery dates.

Although the start of shipping is early, we caution you to remember the CDC guidance for vaccination: In general, healthcare providers should begin offering vaccination soon after vaccine becomes available and if possible by October, and vaccination efforts should continue throughout the season. Of course, if we have a significant incidence of influenza cases this year, you can certainly place additional orders with FFF.

MyFluVaccine Customers
We are excited about the success we are having again this year with MyFluVaccine. Not only are we fulfilling our commitment to those customers who made the small 10% deposits to secure their delivery dates, we can begin offering even earlier dates as doses become available. Just visit www.MyFluVaccine.com to check for the green date indicator. If your requested delivery date turns green, you may call the FFF Wow! Customer Care Team, at 800-843-7477, to ask that your delivery date be moved up. The green dates are updated at least weekly.

 

You may also place additional orders for delivery in September and October – we have many MyFluVaccine delivery dates available in both months.

We are quite optimistic about this season's flu vaccine supply, and we are confident we will be able to deliver MyFluVaccine orders on - or before - the delivery dates you select.


Traditional Order Customers
FFF will phone each customer on the shipping list for this week’s deliveries to alert them to their deliveries and inform customers of the number of doses they will receive.

We are grateful to our loyal customers and manufacturing partners for supporting our vision of a reliable flu vaccine delivery system that enables us to meet – and exceed – expectations for flu vaccine delivery. Thank you!

If you have any questions, please call FFF’s Wow! Customer Care Team at
800-843-7477.
