Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I order from vaccine shoppe. I am set up for automatic reordering. They will do a buy-back and give 50% credit if you are a certain type of member. We have that, but prefer to run out of vaccine instead of sending back. Next year (for 2013-2014 flu season), we will hopefully have formed an MSO with other MD's in our new building, and will be purchasing in larger qty when we pre-order. Pratt It is time of the year to pre-order Flu shots. The price has increased a lot comparing to last year. I don't order many, but still big difference. I don't know if we can share the venders and price info here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 , is Vaccine shoppe Sanofi Pasteur only? I called Sanofi last week, they only make Fluzone. Last year I bought Flulaval( made by GlaxoKline) from McKesson, costed $65/vial ( 10 shots), with preserve. This year, it is going to cost $82. We local providers have formed a GPO. Even with more buying power, we still can't get the price lower. I am thinking order less. Anyone found better deal?Wen Certainly – have in the past and I don’t see why not.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You can buy directly from GSK also. McKesson has the highest rates around here of anywhere else I've purchased from. Because of a horrible customer service experience we had with them when we first started, I refuse to give them any more business. Why pay the middle-man when you can buy direct from the manufacturer? Pratt , is Vaccine shoppe Sanofi Pasteur only? I called Sanofi last week, they only make Fluzone.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Seacoast medical is pretty reasonable for the Flulaval with preservative I believe.
