This dataset contains aggregate data by clinic for COVID-19 doses that are reported to the Pennsylvania Statewide Immunization System (PA-SIIS) as waste or spoilage.

Data includes the name, address and county of the clinics and the quantities of doses reported based on CDC’s standard waste reason codes or spoilage.

Spoilage is defined as nonviable, unopened vials of vaccine. This typically includes vaccine that has expired and vaccine that was not kept stored at the correct temperature (due to conditions such as equipment failure).

Wastage is defined as nonviable doses from opened vials. Standard CDC reasons are as follows:



• Broken Vial or Syringe

• Vaccine drawn (into syringe) but not administered

• Lost or unaccounted for vaccine

• Open vial but not administered

• Other



Data only includes information reported to PA-SIIS, the Pennsylvania Statewide Immunization Information System. Providers participating in the COVID-19 Program that are located in Philadelphia County or who are receiving vaccine inventory directly from CDC are not included in this dataset since they do not report inventory information to PA-SIIS.

The information included in this dataset is for the Governor’s Executive Budget and provides key Program Measures by Agency or Office.

The mission of the Department of Health is to promote healthy behaviors,
prevent injury and disease, and to assure the safe delivery of quality health
care for all people in Pennsylvania.

To accomplish this mission, the department works collaboratively with
public and private community partners to facilitate the development of an
effective public health system. The department licenses and regulates a
variety of health facilities, and provides outreach, education, prevention and
treatment services. Community-based groups receive grants to provide
essential services to the commonwealth’s citizens including programs for
women and children, nutrition, immunization, diagnosis and treatment of
certain blood and communicable diseases, cancer control and prevention.
