Introducing MyFluVaccine: Your Answer to Flu Season Uncertainty!
On May 3, 2006, at 8:00 AM Pacific Time, FFF Enterprises, will launch MyFluVaccine, an extraordinary new program that resolves the uncertainty of your flu vaccine supply.

The first of its kind in the nation, MyFluVaccine allows you to place your flu vaccine order online, easily schedule your delivery dates within a defined delivery season, and make a modest prepayment, which secures your order for delivery on or before your selected dates.

Finally, no more canceled vaccine clinics and appointments, no more frustrated and worried patients, and no more searching for product.

How MyFluVaccine Works

FFF has a clearly defined delivery season for each flu vaccine product, calculated on historical receipts over a five-year period. This allows FFF to confirm members' requested delivery dates.

If you choose to participate in the program, you will place your order online, schedule your delivery dates to coincide with your vaccination clinics, and make a modest prepayment to secure your order online. Vaccine and delivery dates are available on a first come, first served basis.

MyFluVaccine has simple online ordering and scheduling tools, accessible 24/7.The online calendar indicates FFF's defined delivery season for each product, color coded to facilitate selecting from available delivery dates and updated to indicate when your vaccine is available to ship.

  • Guaranteed Channel Integrity: FFF buys vaccine only from the manufacturers and ships only to healthcare providers, protecting your vaccine — and your patients — from the risks of diversion, counterfeiting and irresponsible pricing
