@Chip and I are on opposite sides of the question on Pre-purchasing vaccines. He subscribes to a stronger than position than me that if you know you’re going to use the vaccines, grabbing the inventory at a discount makes perfect sense. From my perspective, tying up cash in the refrigerator takes away from the overall return on investment that comes from having only the amount of vaccines on hand needed for a month- allowing you to flip your cash more frequently. Since Sanofi is on 60-day invoicing and Pfizer is on 90-day invoicing, I really don’t want more than 60 or 90 days of their inventory.
I’ll admit that on the surface, Chip makes a much stronger case than me. But the risk of tying up cash and risk of spoilage, while can be mitigated, outweighs my tendency to stock up, etc.
If memory serves me right, I believe Bluefish welcome people pointing to their website.
Another thing to consider is the storage. We are in a hurricane prone area and our power goes out quite often. Every time there’s a possibility of an outage we are sweating about the vaccines. We have a backup location, but who likes to transport a ton of vaccines?? So we keep our inventory as low as possible.
