There are a few aspects to a properly run immunization program, however, we’re only going to focus on one today, vaccine ordering. Bear in mind vaccines are not like other medical supplies or pharmaceuticals. Since they are biological, they need to be handled with a certain degree of reverence. Because vaccine costs can be one of the largest expenses of a busy practice, how do you purchase them at the best possible price? If you’re not the CDC or providing vaccine for public health patients, the best stategy is to buy vaccines directly from the manufactures, with a purchasing group affiliation like, MPPG. Step 1, Open direct accounts with Merck and Sanofi Pasteur ( see below for links ). There is another manufacturer, Glaxo Smith Kline however, our vaccine discounts are with Merck and Sanofi Pasteur. There are several reasons why we selected these two manufacturers for our vaccine discounts however we’ll save that for another day. Step 2, Join MPPG by clicking on the “JOIN NOW” button in the top right corner of this page and completing the simple form it takes you to, don’t forget to include your Merck and Sanofi account numbers. After your membership is approved, MPPG informs Merck and Sanofi of your status with our group. Your account numbers will then be linked to our vaccine discounts.
Step 3, After receiving an e-mail from us confirming your accounts with Sanofi Pasteur and Merck have been successfully linked to our vaccine discounts, you may start ordering! Once you complete your membership form with the account numbers, the process only takes a few days!
