Wyoming COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Providers

The Wyoming Immunization Unit is excited to begin enrolling COVID-19 Vaccine Program Providers. Enrollment is required to receive COVID-19 vaccine from the Unit. The Immunization Unit thanks you in advance for working with us to ensure the success of the COVID-19 vaccination efforts in Wyoming. 

The link to COVIDReadi, the site being used to facilitate completion of the COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Agreement is below. It is very important that you read through and then follow the instructions provided here to ensure successful completion.

There are two parts to the Provider Enrollment Agreement:

1. Section A
   1. COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Requirements and Legal Agreement: This section must be completed with information about the Organization. Electronic signature of both the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Chief Fiduciary Officer (CFO) or Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will be required in this section. A code will be provided that can be sent to each individual to log in and add their signatures. 
2. Section B
   1. CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Profile Information: This section must be completed for each location (one or more) where individuals will be vaccinated, whether the location receives COVID-19 vaccine directly shipped or vaccine transferred from another location. 
   2. For example:
      1. The Organization has five associated facilities, including the main facility. Only three of these facilities, including the main one, will administer COVID-19 vaccine when it is available. Two of the three facilities intend to receive shipments of the vaccine directly; however, the third location will receive doses from one of the other associated facilities.
         1. Three total locations (Section B) will need to be added after Section A is submitted. 
3. We recommend that if there is more than one facility that will be enrolled as a COVID-19 Vaccine Provider location you complete the information in Section A and then send the code provided during the process to each of the associated locations. This will allow facility staff to complete the information including shipping availability, storage equipment information and verification, etc. 

After the Immunization Unit receives the information and processes the form, the contacts listed will receive an email with information and next steps. Please allow up to one week before receiving additional information as we are working to finalize the onboarding process.   

The Immunization Unit can answer questions you may have by emailing wdh.covidenrollment@wyo.gov with questions.

As previously communicated, each Vaccine Coordinator is required to complete assigned training modules prior to the facility being eligible to administer COVID-19 vaccine.

The first training module available that is required for Vaccine Coordinators and recommended for all staff is:

• COVID-19 Vaccine Training: General Overview of Immunization Best Practices for Healthcare Providers

  • Please complete and follow instructions at the end of the module for printing your certificate of completion. Certificates must be submitted for each Vaccine Coordinator in order for training to be counted as complete.

  • Certificates of completion should be sent to wdh.covidenrollment@wyo.gov.

    • The facility will not be eligible to administer COVID-19 vaccine until all documentation is submitted to the Immunization Unit.

Additional product-specific training will be required once the COVID-19 vaccines are authorized for use. The additional modules will be made available as soon as possible.

V-Safe Poster

V-Safe Information Sheet

• V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after someone receives a COVID-19 vaccination. Through v-safe, vaccine recipients can quickly tell CDC if they have any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Depending on their responses, CDC may follow up with them by phone to get more information. V-safe will also remind them to get their second COVID-19 vaccine dose, if needed.  
• CDC is requesting that healthcare providers give patients a v-safe information sheet at the time of vaccination and encourage them to enroll and fill out the surveys when prompted to do so. The information sheet explains v-safe and provides step-by-step instructions on how to sign up to participate. Vaccine recipients can use the QR code or URL on the information sheet to sign up at their convenience.

Immigrant Concerns

In response to concerns of access barriers some immigrants are facing regarding documentation requests prior to receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and individuals inappropriately being sent bills for COVID-19 vaccine fees, HRSA developed two fact sheets to help both patients and providers better understand their rights and responsibilities regarding access to COVID-19 vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccines are free to all individuals living in the United States and these resources will help to empower patients and educate providers on this fact.
