Discussion began on antiviral medication distribution. The background of general Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) procedures and antiviral allotments in Missouri was provided. Local pharmacy antiviral amounts on hand were generally discussed along with the absence of a local stockpile for healthcare providers. The current plan of distribution of antivirals through physician prescriptions and in-place pharmacy procedures was provided. Pros and cons of this process were discussed. The floor was opened for discussion of other alternatives. A few were presented and discussed. Consensus was reached that the current plan should remain. Draft MOUs should be created that include transportation, storage, allowed fees, etc. for each pharmacy to be signed when needed.
