We have 2 new Pfizer formulations that have an added buffering agent. This makes the preparation and storage slightly different than with our current Pfizer vaccine. They are color coded from the manufacturer to make it easier for clinicians to ensure the proper administration.
Purple—Adult no buffering
Grey—Adult with buffering
Orange—Pediatric with buffering
The vaccines are broken down by grouping and highlighted below.
The purple was already in the system, so the section was updated with the heading to state “Purple Cap.” The gray cap was added even though we may not have them in our inventory yet. Also included are the pediatric in the last highlighted orange section.
