Steven,

Please see all the information for the pediatricians in the email below.
Pediatricians can request vaccine from NYSDOH (preferred) and Onondaga County Health Department (OCHD) if not able to get from NYS. As long as they are authorized providers and can handle vaccine transport and have training to handle Pfizer, we can support it.

To request a vaccine from OCHD, they should directly send us request as per Waded's email instructions.
NYS may allow us to transfer in the frozen state- which will increase shelf life until then we have to provide thawed vaccine with shelf life of 5 days.
Pediatricians should confirm that they have CDC/ NYS acceptable vaccine transport process to keep integrity of vaccine.

Thanks
Indu
