Because of the nature of the manufacturing process, at times, we may not have a product in stock. When shopping from the online Catalog, look for product status near the product description. Products not in stock will generally have this noted by status.

For more information on backordered items visit our Supply Status page or call us at 877.VAX.MERCK (877.829.6372) so that we can give you a better idea of when this product will be available.

In your Cart, you have the option of shipping to more than one location. Click the “Ship to Multiple Locations” button and you will then have to designate the shipping destination for each product in your cart. If you have multiple locations but don’t see the Ship to Multiple Locations button, call us at 877.VAX.MERCK (877.829.6372) and ask to speak with a Vaccine Account Representative.

You can order products from a shopping list that you have saved in My Product Lists. Click the “My Product Lists” sub-tab from the top of the page while you are viewing Ordering. Then select the list from which you want to place an order and either add all the products or add individual products to the cart. If you do not have lists defined, you may create a list then use the Catalog to identify and add products.

Within the Catalog area of MerckVaccines.com, you can access the last 20 products you ordered under Browse Products – Recently Ordered. Use the standard ordering process to reorder any of the products listed.

If you need to make any changes after your order has been placed, please call us immediately at 877.VAX.MERCK (877.829.6372). Note: Some orders may not be modified or cancelled.

Purchase Order Number is a value that you may populate on an order so that you can track it back to your system. It is your reference number. If you do not use purchase orders, or do not provide a Purchase Order Number, we will default it to “WEB mm/dd/yyyy” (example: WEB 06/12/2017).

We have also added a checkbox above the Purchase Order Number field that allows you to require that your orders always need a PO “#” provided by you. If this is checked and you do not provide one, you will be prompted to add one.

There are two options for billing on an order: Bill the order to your Merck Account or use a credit card. Add and reuse as many credit cards as you need.

If you use the Bill My Merck Account option, the balance must be paid by check or credit card per the terms of your account.

If you use a credit card, your credit card will be charged on the invoice due date or discount due date as per the terms of your Merck Account.

As described above, go to the Order Detail page containing the particular order. Click on the Copy Order to Shopping Cart button at the bottom of the page; doing this will duplicate a previous order and add it to your Shopping Cart.
