The Philadelphia Department of Public Health’s COVID-19 Matchmaking Program would like to send a huge thank you for your time, commitment, and expertise you’ve given in partnering with vaccination clinics to provide vaccine. After careful consideration, we have determined to end the program effective November 4, 2022. 57 vaccination clinics were successfully matched for the duration of PDPH’s COVID-19 Matchmaking Program, and 77 providers were enrolled. These vaccinations clinics included community-based clinics, health fairs, and cultural events to name a few!If patients are looking to get vaccinated at their earliest convenience, you may direct them to use this link to find a facility in close proximity to them. Again, we thank you for your contributions and efforts to partner with vaccinations clinics to serve vaccine. You have made an immense difference through your dedication and continued support!
Temperature Reporting for Online Vaccine Ordering
Temperature logs must be submitted on the same day as any order placed for federal vaccine (VFC, VFAAR, flu, COVID-19, or monkeypox)!
Temperature logs are to be uploaded in PhilaVax and emailed to tempcheck@phila.gov. The logs must show that the unit is within the appropriate temperature ranges and that there have been no alarms. This reporting guide can assist you in submitting your DDL temperature files.
For more information on ordering and how to upload your temperature log, please attend the next online ordering training on November 10, 2022 from 10:00AM – 11:00AM EST. Click the link below to register for the training.
If your site uses a privately purchased DDL or cannot upload in PhilaVax, please contact tempcheck@phila.gov.
Thank you for keeping Philadelphia safe and healthy!
Moderna Bivalent Booster ordering has been turned back on in Philavax and Monday.com. Please note: allocations are still limited at this time so providers may not receive what is requested based on dose availability.
Please make sure you are selecting the correct NDC when ordering bivalent boosters (see table below). Selecting the monovalent product code and then selecting booster in the Dose Number column will not allow you to order bivalent doses. You will need to select the correct NDC. All previously submitted orders of bivalent vaccines during the ordering pause will need to be resubmitted for processing.
