Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is an industry "best practice" for vaccine inventory ordering, distribution, and management. EOQ is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standard to more effectively manage the federal vaccine program nationwide.
EOQ is much like Tiered Order Frequency, which we introduced in 2007 when vaccine distribution was centralized. The goal of EOQ is to balance provider order size, order frequency, timing of orders, and inventory management.
