Closed Point of Dispensing (POD)

Points of Dispensing (PODs) are community locations in which state and local agencies dispense medical countermeasures (MCMs) such as vaccines, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, antitoxins or chemical antidotes used to effectively prevent, mitigate, or treat adverse health effects of an intentional, accidental, or naturally occurring public health emergency. 

This toolkit provides information and answers key questions regarding how to become a closed POD, allowing the opportunity for organizations to work with MCPH to develop individual plans that’s are just right for each.
