As we continue to monitor the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 340B Prime Vendor Program, managed by Apexus, is requiring all 340B University registrants, faculty and staff to be vaccinated to attend the 340B University in San Diego on Jan. 30, 2022.
We feel that as we serve America’s safety net providers – who have been strained by ongoing hospitalizations due to COVID-19 –we need to do what we can to help minimize the spread of the virus in the community. To clarify, those without a proof of vaccination record will not be permitted to attend this live 340B University session. We are following our company guidelines that a negative COVID-19 test in lieu of proof of vaccination is not permitted and realize this is a different standard than 340B Coalition Winter Conference requirements.
- If you will not complete your vaccination cycle prior to Jan. 29, 2022, please cancel your 340B University registration. Questions or cancellations can be directly sent to us at 340BUniversity@340Bpvp.com.
