  • 1.  Bar code scannning Covid vaccine

    Posted 10-20-2022 15:15
    Hello,
    Has anyone been able to pull in lot number of the Pfeizer Covid vaccine with bar code scanning? If yes, I would love to chat. We are having many errors. Thank you.

    We too are having many Covid Vaccine errors.  We are looking up standing up Bar Code Scanning in the ambulatory space for all vaccines and medications.  It sounds as though you have a scanning system.  If so, is Pfeizer the only Covid Vaccine you are having trouble with?

    Hello Katherine, 

    We have the same issue for any vaccine that uses only a barcode.  Those vaccines that have QR code as well will load lot numbers, etc.  We are using the Fluad for our over 65 population and noticed the same issue.  No QR code on the prefilled syringes.  I cannot find a QR code on the vials, but there is one on the box that the vials come in.  When my next shipment arrives, I will attempt to update our syinge labels with the QR code and see if that address the issue.
