Reminder - Merck Compliance

kathy — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:11:59 -0400

Just a brief reminder as new products have been approved by the FDA. Our Merck contract is based on compliance as well as volume. We are currently allowed to purchase Havrix (GSK-HepA) as Merck is unable to supply Vaqta. As other competing products become available (rotavirus - GSK), I would like to remind everyone that we can not purchase an alternate rotavirus vaccine and remain compliant. Merck pricing would increase for all of us. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me [Kathy] directly, or use our contact us form.
Thank you.
