FFF's MyFluVaccine Network gives you immediate access to new influenza vaccine consumers and reduces the risks associated with flu vaccine acquisition as consumer demand increases.

FFF and Novartis Vaccines market directly to consumers through a nationwide, multimillion dollar ad campaign that promotes the health benefits of annual influenza vaccination.

  • Avoid the risks and frustrations of flu vaccine acquisition.
  • Put an end to waiting for unknown vaccine amounts on unknown dates.
  • The network is easy to join!

Joining the MyFluVaccine Network takes just four easy steps:

  1. Join at MyFluVaccine Network by completing the application form, with your DEA number.
  2. We’ll call to confirm your application and the schedule of your flu vaccination clinics.
  3. A multimillion dollar, nationwide consumer ad campaign sends patients to the website to sign up for the flu shot clinics nearest them – and you have access to regularly updated appointment lists for your clinics.
  4. When clinics order vaccine from FFF, you can count on receiving your order in full – and in time – for your clinics.

FFF’s MyFluVaccine Provider Network is an efficient and profitable method of continuing to provide high-quality preventative care, while reducing exposure to the risks of the flu vaccine marketplace.

This distribution innovation is intended to help reduce the financial burden on vaccine providers and, consequently, encourage every possible effort to meet the CDC guidelines for vaccination throughout the flu season.

From the CDC: Vaccination efforts should continue throughout the season, because the duration of the influenza season varies, and influenza might not appear in certain communities until February or March. Providers should offer influenza vaccine routinely, and organized vaccination campaigns should continue throughout the influenza season, including after influenza activity has begun in the community. Vaccine administered in December or later, even if influenza activity has already begun, is likely to be beneficial in the majority of influenza seasons. The majority of aduIts have antibody protection against influenza virus infection within 2 weeks after vaccination.
