Outline Hepatitis B Supply Update – Pediatric – Adult CDC Vaccine Supply/Shortage Page
Pediatric Hepatitis B Vaccine Merck will begin distributing its pediatric monovalent hepatitis B vaccine in the private sector effective March 9, 2020 At that time, Merck’s available supply will be sufficient to meet their historical demand/market share for this vaccine in both the public and private sectors
Adult Hepatitis B Vaccine Merck will not be distributing its adult hepatitis B vaccine or dialysis formulation through at least first half of 2020. Dynavax and GSK have sufficient supply of adult hepatitis B vaccine to address the anticipated gap in Merck’s adult hepatitis B vaccine supply during this period; however, preference for a specific presentation (i.e., vial versus syringe) may not be met uniformly during this time.
