Questions & Answers from Webinar on September 9, 2020 – Getting Ready for SIMON GO LIVE
1. We don't order each month. Can we just do the reconciliation at the time of the order like we have done in the past?
You can reconcile at the time of the order; however, we suggest reconciling each month.
2. We're currently using the WIFI Data Logger. Do we need to go back to using the 400 Data Logger to use with SIMON?
You will need to use one of the approved DDL's.
3. Do pharmacies fall under the temperature and vaccine quantity logs?
No, unless the pharmacy is enrolled in the VFC/STATE program.

You must wait until the vaccine expires. Once it does will do the wastage and return in SIMON.
