COVID-19 vaccine preorders, fulfillment, and returns

Cencora distributes COVID-19 vaccines to community pharmacies, physician practices, and health systems across the U.S. Order through ABC Order, track shipment status, and reach the seasonal vaccines team if anything needs to shift mid-cycle.

COVID-19 vaccines move through the same cold-chain, fair-share allocation, and return process as flu, so your team can run COVID-19 vaccination alongside flu without doubling the workload.

Manufacturer return benefits pass through directly. Partial-box returns are accepted when applicable terms allow. Use the self-service return tool in ABC Order, or reach the seasonal vaccines team for a walk-through. See the current COVID-19 terms and conditions for details.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. COVID-19 vaccines have a priority shipping preorder deadline each season. Preorder before the deadline for priority shipping; preorders are accepted until all orders are fulfilled.
We accept return requests for unused doses for credit at the end of the season, based on manufacturers’ terms and conditions. See the current COVID-19 terms and conditions for the full policy. 
No, there is no minimum order quantity for COVID-19 vaccines.
Ordering for the prior COVID-19 vaccine season closes on a designated date each year as we prepare for the launch of the upcoming season. After ordering closes, prior-season COVID-19 vaccines are no longer available for purchase. We encourage you to review your inventory needs and place final orders before the ordering deadline to help support vaccination efforts until the next season's COVID-19 vaccines begin shipping.

COVID-19 vaccine terms and conditions

Two seasons of terms are always available: the current season for new orders, and the previous season while customers place or return orders from the prior cycle.
