WHY DOES EVERY SHOT COUNT? Each year, on average, 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population gets the flu. Roughly $87.1 billion is taken out of the economy each year due to influenza. During the 2013-2014 flu season, 53 percent of deaths occurred in children who were at high risk of developing serious flu-related complications, but 47 percent of these children were healthy and had no recognized chronic health problems. A study published in JAMA last year found that adults who go a flu shot were 36% less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke within the next year than those who weren t vaccinated. 2
WHY DOCUMENTING EVERY FLU SHOT COUNTS Last season you administered more than 56,000 doses of flu vaccine! Thank you for your hard work. By being good stewards of State flu vaccine, you not only reduced the burden of disease but decreased the number of unused vaccine by 5,000 doses from the previous flu season. WOW!! Food for thought: if just 20% of State flu providers miss documenting one dose of flu vaccine a month, that would add up to approximately 225 undocumented doses or $3,500 by the end of flu season.
DISTRIBUTION Remember, all personnel designated to pick up vaccine will need to present an ID. Warehouse hours: 8am-4pm (except noon to 1pm-Gino s lunch hour). Community Clinics who will be picking up flu vaccine for their whole organization will need to provide us with a list of the sites to which you will be distributing vaccine. -This list must include the flu products and the amount of doses each site will receive before you may pick up your organization s allotment. 4
-We will need to know the date when you will begin giving flu vaccine. -The work week is considered from Monday to Friday/Saturday. -The first State Flu Weekly report is due every Monday after you receive your initial state flu allotment. -All vaccine doses must be reported. -Even if you do not give flu vaccine the week the Flu report is due, submit the State Flu Weekly Report noting no vaccine was administered. -All State Flu vaccine inventory must be reconciled weekly and your SDIR/EHR Vaccine Usage Report has to be attached to the State Flu Weekly Report. 5
THINGS WE NEED TO KNOW If your Organization wants to add a new site (not listed on the MOA) to receive State flu vaccine, you must contact us first before you transfer vaccines to this site. We will need to have the site s contact information, Vaccine Coordinator s and backup s name, and amount of State flu vaccine transferred to them. You will be responsible for training the site to comply with the State flu vaccine requirements. 6
County of San Diego Immunization Program (SDIP) Website The SDIP website (www.sdiz.org), under the Health Care Professionals section, contains a new Influenza Information Webpage for Providers. Included in this webpage will be: -flu-related PowerPoints -guides for storage and handling -pertinent forms -influenza Vaccine Information Statements and more. 7
OTHER NEWS WORTH MENTIONING The State requires us to report flu vaccine usage intermittently. Reports to the State are due on: December 1 st, February 1 st, and July 1st. We will be tracking expiration dates of flu vaccine closely, notifying you to use vaccine the shorter expiration dates first. 8

Transferred to Received from Returned to HHSA 39
THINGS WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE IN SDIR Missing documentation-where did those doses go? 40
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN How can -6 be incoming? Why weren t they entered into SDIR? 41
MISSING DOCUMENTATION? Missing documentation-why weren t the records unlocked? What does Inventory Reconciliation mean? 42
ARCHIVING STATE FLU LOTS All State flu lots must be at zero (0) doses before they can be archived. You must explain where every dose went in the Make an Adjustment section. Begin by clicking on the blue INV ID link of the State flu lot to be archived. 43

THE VACCINE USAGE REPORT Select your Facility. Enter the IZ date range. Next to the Include field, use down arrow to select State General Funding. Select to run the report in a PDF or Excel Format. Click Submit. 46
CHANGES TO THE VACCINE USAGE REPORT The Vaccine Usage report gives you the number of vaccines given by dose, age group, and date range entered. The Grand Total and Patient Count are at the bottom of the report. A copy of your weekly SDIR Vaccine Usage Report or EHR report must also be attached to the State Flu Weekly Report and the counts must match. 47
THE SDIR DAILY IZ REPORT You can use the Daily IZ Report to compare the State Flu totals with the Vaccine Usage Report. Be aware the Daily IZ will also display State Tdap for those Providers who are enrolled in the State Tdap Program for pregnant women and their close contacts. Select your Facility. Enter the IZ date range. Select the age range. Select to run the report in a PDF or Excel Format. Next to the Include field, use down arrow to select State General Funding. Click Submit. 48
DAILY IZ REPORT The Daily IZ report can be compared with the Vaccine Usage Report. It will display the total patients by vaccine source as well as the total number of immunizations by vaccine source. 49
WHAT IF THE SDIR FLU VACCINE NUMBERS DON T MATCH? The most common reasons why the numbers don t add up: All vaccines, transfers, doses wasted, &/or adjustments have not been entered into SDIR. Vaccines were entered into Add IZ from Inventory with the wrong vaccine lot number or in error. Another scenario: the vaccine was entered into the EHR instead of SDIR. IMPORTANT: Always delete the vaccine if the lot number, the vaccine dose (e.g., an adult dose was entered instead of pediatric dose), and/or the type of vaccine were incorrectly entered. Re-enter the correct vaccine information in Add IZs from Inventory. Relying solely on your SDIR Vaccine Usage Report instead of doing a manual count and reconciling the vaccine numbers with the SDIR count. Computational errors. Check your weekly State Flu Usage Reports. The manual count, SDIR/EHR/Vaccine Administration count, and State Flu Weekly Report should all match. If you still can t balance the numbers, use your patient information system/billing report/ehr to generate the date range with the influenza vaccine and number and of patients to whom you gave vaccines. We can also run a Lot Usage report for you. 50
