Vaccine Vendor Updates Due to COVID-19

COVID-19 Vax Update pt2

Due to challenges related to managing the Coronavirus outbreak, our vaccine vendor partners have made the following updates to their ordering and payment policies:

NEW: Sanofi Pasteur – Effective April 13, 2020 Sanofi Pasteur will:

  • Extend current payment terms for an additional 30 days on invoices due in April and May 2020
  • Extend the 2% prompt pay discount on invoices due in April and May
  • Extension is retroactive to April 1, meaning any invoice due in the month of April will receive the additional 30 days

The 30-day extension applies to all purchases through Sanofi Pasteur or VaxServe via your Sanofi Pasteur sales representative, VaccineShoppe.com , 1-800-VACCINE (1-800-822-2463) or VaxServe.com and/or 1-800-752-9338.

Please note that since Merck has also extended their payment terms and prompt pay discount by an additional 30 days, invoices for Merck vaccines purchased through VaccineShoppe or VaxServe will also carry these same terms.

Pfizer – Effective March 26, 2020, all open invoices dated January 1, 2020 or later for Pfizer vaccines for physicians, clinics, and group practices will automatically have an additional 30 days payment terms added to them. No action is required on your part. No new invoices will be issued so we recommend you simply make note of the additional 30 days on your current invoice. Additionally, all NEW orders for these customers placed between March 26 and May 31, 2020 will have extended payment terms of 105 days with the 2% prompt pay discount.

Merck – Effective April 6, 2020, all open invoices for Merck vaccines purchased by Physician Clinic and Physician Practice customers through MerckVaccines.com, MerckOrders.com, or Merck Vaccine Customer Center beginning January 7, 2020 through April 6, 2020 will have 30 days added to their existing payment terms. No action is required on your part. A new invoice will not be issued; therefore, we recommend you simply make note of the additional 30 days to pay on your current invoice.

Additionally, all NEW orders placed by Physician Clinic and Physician Practice customers on MerckVaccines.com, MerckOrders.com, or through Merck Vaccine Customer Center April 6, 2020 through May 6, 2020 will have an additional 30-day payment term extension, for a total of 120 days to pay.

Please note that these extended payment terms apply to Merck vaccines purchased directly from Merck. For Merck vaccines purchased through a Merck Prime Vendor Distributor, please check with your distributor for current payment terms.
