Providers and Patients Should be Cautious When Ordering Vaccines Online, Study Concludes
Web sites marketing certain biologic vaccines to providers and consumers were analyzed in a recent study that stressed patient safety dangers, particularly in the context of vaccine shortages. The study evaluated online sellers appearing in the top five Internet search results for Hepatitis B, Pediatric and Adult Hepatitis A, and Zoster vaccines. The study determined that none of these sites appearing in these results were VIPPS® (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice SitesCM) accredited and most were on the NABP Not Recommended list. Details about the study and its conclusions are available in the article “Vaccine shortages and suspect online pharmacy sellers,” published in Vaccine.
