In September 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiated a two-dimensional (2D) vaccine barcoding pilot project to assess the challenges and to determine the best practices for labeling and tracking vaccines using 2D barcodes.

Two vaccine community meetings will be hosted during the project. The first will gather vaccine manufacturers to discuss and establish standards for barcoding vaccine products, and identify and explore other relevant issues. The second meeting will be an educational forum to include providers, immunization program grantees, manufacturers, and other interested partners.

This website provides an overview of the pilot project and registration information for the two meetings to be hosted. For additional information on the project or to inquire about participating in the pilot, please contact the pilot team at 2Dbarcodepilotinfo@cdc.gov
