7 Underinsured: VFC ELIGIBILITY SCREENING VFC Eligibility Categories A child whose health insurance does not cover vaccines or it only covers select vaccines is eligible NOTE: Underinsured children are eligible to receive vaccine only through a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), Rural Health Center (RHC) or any West Virginia local health department (LHD) American Indian/Alaskan Native(AI/AN) is eligible for VFC 6
8 VFC ELIGIBILITY SCREENING Providers must properly document eligibility status (including eligibility category) at each immunization visit Providers must use screening results to ensure that only VFCeligible children receive VFC vaccine and proper billing practices associated with the VFC Program are followed Eligibility documentation must be maintained for a minimum of three years from the date of the patient visit Eligibility status must be readily available to staff administering vaccine prior to selecting which vaccine stock to use 7
9 Proper Storage Vaccines should be kept in their original packaging from the manufacturer and/or CDC centralized distributor and placed in the middle of the unit, with space both between the vaccines and the side/back of the unit. X Vaccines should not be stored in the doors, vegetable bins, or floor of the unit or under or near cooling vents, and there should not be any food in the unit. 8
10 CDC Recommends Water bottles (for refrigerators) or frozen coolant packs (for freezers) should be placed throughout each storage unit in order to: 1. Stabilize or extend temperatures during a power outage 2. Serve as physical blocks preventing the placement of vaccines in areas of the unit that are at higher risk for temperature excursions 9
11 Storage Units REQUIREMENT: X Dorm and bar style units are prohibited for vaccine storage RECOMMENDATIONS: Pharmaceutical grade stand alone or combination units (preferred) Household/commercial stand alone units Household/commercial combination units using the refrigerator section only 10
12 Dual zone unit is acceptable for refrigerated vaccine storage only do not use freezer compartment Source: CDC VFC In Action 2013 Storage and Handling Presentation 11
13 Vegetable bins are empty Water bottles are placed in the unit Vaccines are kept in original packaging, organized and not touching unit walls Source: CDC VFC In Action 2013 Storage and Handling Presentation 12
14 Storage unit is too full Vaccines are stored outside of original packaging Thermometer is against the wall Source: CDC VFC In Action 2013 Storage and Handling Presentation 13
15 Vaccine Management Plan VFC providers must develop, maintain and implement plans for routine and emergency vaccine management Plans must be reviewed and/or updated annually or more frequently if changes occur All information in the plan must be current A review date and signature are required on all plans in order to verify that they are current Plan must be posted on/near the storage unit 14
16 Borrowing Reports VFC enrolledprovidersareexpectedtomaintainanadequate inventory of vaccine for VFC eligible and non VFC eligible patients Borrowing of vaccine between private and public inventories must be a rare, unplanned occurrence VFC vaccine cannot be used as a replacement system for a provider s privately purchased vaccine inventory All instances of borrowing must be properly documented, reported and replaced 15
17 Additional Storage & Handling Requirements Separation of VFC and Private Vaccines: Clinics/practices that serve both VFC and non VFC eligible children must maintain separate vaccine inventories that allow them to clearly differentiate public stock from private stock. Separation of VFC and Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Vaccines: Clinics/practices that serve both VFC and non VFC eligible children must maintain separate vaccine inventories that allow them to differentiate VFC vaccines from CHIP vaccines. Use labels provided by the Division of Immunization Services. Do Not Disconnect Signs: Providers must take steps to protect the power source for all vaccine storage equipment by means of warning labels. This includes the circuit breaker box. 16
18 Temperature Monitoring Equipment Clinics/practices MUST have a working calibrated thermometer with a current and valid certificate of calibration testing issued either by an ILAC MRA accredited laboratory or, if not ILAC MRAaccredited, the certificate must contain the measurement results and a statement indicating that it meets ISO standards. 17
19 Temperature Monitoring Equipment All certificates of calibration testing must contain: Name of device (optional) Model number Serial number Date of calibration Measurement results indicate unit passed test and the documented uncertainty is within suitable limits (recommended uncertainty = +/ 1º F (0.5º C) 18
20 Source: CDC VFC In Action 2013 Storage and Handling Presentation 19
21 Digital Data Loggers CDC recommends the use of a digital data logger thermometer with a detachable probe in a buffered material with continuous monitoring and recording capabilities The temperature should be easily readable from the outside of the unit 20
22 Digital Data Loggers Temperature probes should be buffered so that temperature monitoring devices measure the temperature of vaccine vials not the temperature of the air in a storage unit A buffered probe is a temperature probe immersed or inserted in one of the following: A vial filled with liquid (e.g., glycol, ethanol, glycerin) A vial filled with loose media (e.g., sand, glass beads) A solid block of material (e.g., Teflon, aluminum) 21
23 Digital Data Loggers When selecting a data logger, CDC recommends the following features: Alarm for out of range temperatures Current, minimum and maximum temperatures Low battery indicator Accuracy of +/ 1º F (0.5º C) Memory stores at least 4,000 readings 22
24 Proper Temperature/Excursions Vaccines must be stored under appropriate temperatures at all times Acceptable temperature ranges: Refrigerated vaccines are 35º F and 46º F (2º C and 8º C) Frozen vaccines between 58º F and +5º F ( 50º C and 15º C) 23
25 VACCINE STORAGE AND HANDLING Proper Temperature/Excursions In the event of a temperature excursion, provider must: 1. Quarantine and label vaccines as Do Not Use 2. Contact the state immunization program to report the excursion 3. Obtain documentation of manufacturer guidance that determined vaccine viability 24
26 Temperature Logs Temperature documentation must contain: 1. At least two temperature readings per day 2. The time and date of each reading 3. The name (or initials) of the person who assessed and recorded the readings CDC also recommends that providers using a data logger to record the minimum and maximum temperatures of each unit once each workday (preferably in the morning) 25
27 Assessment Feedback Incentives exchange AFIX/WVSIIS REPORTING What is AFIX? AFIX visits are conducted when a provider has 5> children in the current age cohort in order to assess coverage rates. 26
28 AFIX/WVSIIS REPORTING Conducting AFIX Visits Division of Immunization Services (DIS) staff pulls patients records directly from WVSIIS A patient listing and missing immunizations report are then provided to the VFC contact for review Provider staff (VFC contact) then must review/update any patient records in WVSIIS and inactivate any patients who are no longer seen in the practice prior to the site visit 27
29 AFIX/WVSIIS REPORTING Conducting AFIX Visits Once updates have been completed, DIS staff will pull a final patient listing from WVSIIS and run coverage rates to review with provider during the site visit Coverage rates are based solely on WVSIIS data and will not be entered at the time of the visit 28
30 AFIX/WVSIIS REPORTING In order to achieve good coverage rates, a provider must strive to: Report all immunizations given (both private and VFC) to WVSIIS Mark any patients who are no longer seen by the practice as inactive in WVSIIS Not take ownership of a patient unless the patient is yours 29
31 AFIX/WVSIIS REPORTING In order to achieve good coverage rates, a provider must strive to: Report previously administered immunizations to WVSIIS Vaccinate children for the complete series by the age of 24 months Reduce missed opportunities for vaccination immunize at all sick and well visits Have a reminder/recall system in place 30
