How It works
A simple, no-cost approach to vaccine purchasing for pharmacies
1. Participation is free
There is no cost for pharmacies to participate in AccessPoint programs. Pharmacies choose whether and when to participate based on what makes sense for their business.
2. Pharmacies choose which manufacturer programs to participate in
AccessPoint offers program-based participation. Pharmacies review available manufacturer programs and decide which vaccine programs align best with their needs. There is no forced exclusivity or blanket commitment.
3. Participation is confirmed before pricing is set up
Pharmacies confirm their intent to participate in the AccessPoint vaccine pricing by completing a simple participation or pre-book form which shows the manufacturer our contract pricing will be utilized.
Because each manufacturer’s contract is different, participation requirements may vary by program.
4. Accounts are linked to contracted pricing
Once participation is confirmed and contracts are in place, AccessPoint works with the manufacturer and, when applicable, the distributor to have participating pharmacy accounts linked to the contracted pricing.
This step may take several days to a few weeks depending on the manufacturer and ordering channel.
5. Pharmacies order through existing channels
Pharmacies continue to order vaccines through approved manufacturer or distributor channels, such as direct manufacturer programs or vaccine distributors.
AccessPoint does not place orders or handle fulfillment.
Once accounts are linked, pharmacies receive contracted pricing when ordering through the appropriate channel.
6. Ongoing program support
AccessPoint serves as a point of contact for program-related questions and supports pharmacies throughout the year and vaccine seasons by helping coordinate communication between pharmacies, manufacturers, and distributors.
