Introducing a new vaccine is an exciting way to strengthen your immunization program and protect more patients. To ensure a smooth and safe rollout, practices should follow several essential steps.
- Review Clinical Guidance – Meet with your manufacturer representative and clinical leaders to review FDA indications, ACIP/AAP recommendations, eligible patient ages, and dosing schedules.
- Train Your Team – Prepare staff with information on administration technique, documentation, and how to communicate effectively with patients and families.
- Update Your EMR Systems – Ensure CPT, CVX, and NDC codes are added correctly. Update order sets, practice management systems, and vaccine registry reporting.
- Estimate Demand & Analyze Financials – Identify the eligible patient population, estimate uptake, and calculate monthly volume. Review reimbursement rates and compare them to acquisition costs, including CPP rebates to understand your margin and cash flow timing.
- Prepare Storage & Workflow Integration – Confirm adequate refrigerator or freezer space and update your clinical workflows and communication processes to incorporate the new vaccine.
