Vaccine Advantage works with many hospitals and IPAs. In fact, there can be added benefits for individual practices that are affiliated with a hospital or IPA.
Vaccine Advantage pediatric members typically save 20% to 30% per year on their annual vaccine purchases (based on full CDC immunization schedule), and through greater use of combination vaccines coupled with the change of buying habits, savings could exceed 35%. Family and specialty practices savings are the same per vaccine with overall savings dependent on their volume and breadth of vaccines provided.
We work together to build the best purchasing strategy for your practice, which may include access to contracts with various vaccine manufacturers. There are no participation costs for the practice and the savings are immediate. Member practices continue to order directly and orders are shipped directly to you. Vaccine Advantage provides updates on new products, market trends, product promotions, cost updates, and other relevant vaccine topics.
