TAFP partnership brings summer savings on vaccines

Through a partnership with vaccine purchasing program Atlantic Health Partners, TAFP members can save on orders of select Sanofi Pasteur vaccines this summer. Through June 20, physicians using Atlantic Health Partners discounts will receive an additional 3-percent discount on Adacel and Menactra. Read a letter from Jeff Winokur for more information on the offer or contact him at (800) 741-2044 or jwinokur@atlantichealthpartners.com.

TAFP partnered with Atlantic Health Partners to save family physicians money when purchasing vaccines and secure an advocate for family medicine practices among vaccine manufacturers and payers. There is no cost for TAFP members to enroll in the program and enrollment is voluntary. Read more about the perks of the partnership in a January news story published on TAFP’s Web site.
