Two-Dimensional (2D) Vaccine Barcoding - For Providers

This page contains information and training resources for providers with an interest in 2D vaccine barcoding.

 

Brief: Different Vaccine Lot Numbers

Some vaccine manufacturers for particular vaccines use similar, but different, lot numbers of the unit of sale vaccine product (package or salable box) and the unit of use vaccine product (vial/syringe). This brief [2 pages] describes the background, challenge, current tools, ongoing efforts, and plans to update information related to this issue.

 

Adopting 2D Barcodes – Briefs

These one-page briefs provide information to pharmacists [2 pages] and other healthcare providers [2 pages] on the benefits of 2D barcodes and the importance of adopting those barcodes.

 

2D Barcoded Vaccine Use in Pandemic Events

This report was developed to provide guidance to aid organizations considering the use of 2D scanning to capture vaccine encounter information during pandemic events. See 2D Barcoded Vaccine Use in Pandemic Events [15 pages].

 

Training Documents

Although developed at the initiation of the 2D Vaccine Barcode Pilot project or after the start of the project to address ongoing challenges, most of the content of these materials address 2D barcoding issues beyond the scope of the pilot.
