State Posts Vaccine Inventory by Hospital
On Feb. 15, the state published the amount of vaccine reported on hand for each vaccine provider (under “Toggle Views,” select drop down for “Provider Detail”). Multi-county entities are reported in aggregate, instead of by each hospital campus. The posted data are reported daily by each provider into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) VaccineFinder database. These data reflect vaccine on hand and do not account for scheduled appointments. Vaccines available may likely be reserved for appointments already planned for the week. For hospitals and health systems that may need to respond to questions about the many reasons that providers may have vaccines on hand, CHA has prepared these key messages.
With the state Office of Health Care Affordability (OHCA) barreling toward singling out hospitals for even lower spending growth targets than the statewide goal — and federal legislators debating budget proposals that would decimate Medicaid and Medicare funding — CHA has developed two opportunities for hospitals to prepare for engagement on both of these critical issues.

With less than two months before America selects its next president, Congress has returned to Washington, D.C., to consider a federal funding plan, with action required before Sept. 30 to avoid a government shutdown.
