COVID-19 Vaccine Inventory Tracking and Reporting Standard

This document is a work standard detailing the processes for tracking and reporting COVID-19 vaccine inventory. It outlines the responsibilities of various organizations involved in the distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccinations, including the Saskatchewan Health Authority and other health authorities. The standard emphasizes the importance of accounting for vaccines from delivery to administration to ensure sufficient provincial supply. It describes essential tasks such as distribution tracking using the Panorama Inventory module and local systems for those not using Panorama. Inventory tracking methods are specified for community pharmacies and pharmacy wholesalers, including the requirement for regular physical counts and reporting of inventory counts to the Population Health Branch. The document also notes that physician offices are exempt from reporting inventory and provides guidelines for tracking specific vaccine brands. Timelines for monitoring inventory may change, and jurisdictions are responsible for notifying the Population Health Branch of low inventory levels.
