Enter flu vaccine stock status - manually
Who should use this guide
Providers and jurisdictions who have completed registration for a COVID Locating Health Provider Portal account.
You have already set up flu vaccines that will be available at your location(s).
You are ready to log flu vaccine stock status and want to log data manually.
Remember to update your flu vaccine stock status every 2 weeks
Although it is not required, we encourage you to report if your location(s) have flu vaccines in stock
or out of stock
every two weeks so the public using Vaccines.gov can easily find a flu vaccine near them. If you haven't updated your flu vaccine stock status in over two weeks, your stock status on Vaccines.gov will change from "in stock" to "call to confirm" and your location will not appear in searches.
