Instructions and Operations Guide Updates
In light of the
intentional disease outbreaks in the United States, such
as the 2001 anthrax attacks, and the substantial health
risks posed by influenza, and other bacteria, spores,
toxins, or viruses, states and local jurisdictions have
been called upon to develop comprehensive mass
prophylaxis plans. The goal is to ensure that
civilian populations have timely access to necessary
antibiotics and/or vaccines in the event of future
outbreaks. In compliance with grant requirements
to ensure mass pharmaceutical dispensing processes,
Sedgwick County, Kansas, Metropolitan Medical Response
System (MMRS) developed the Mass Pharmaceutical
Distribution/Dispensing Instruction and Operations Guide
and Mass Pharmaceutical Distribution Medication
Preparation Instructional Video. We are
pleased to offer these resources to other jurisdictions.
The Mass Pharmaceutical
Distribution/Dispensing Instruction and Operations Guide
was designed by the Sedgwick County, Kansas Metropolitan
Medical Response System (MMRS) as a tool for the
county’s local dispensing sites. The guide gives a
detailed description of each worker’s roles and
responsibilities as well as all forms needed to complete
the dispensing process. The guide was designed to
be compliant with both the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) and Incident Command System
A Mass Pharmaceutical
Distribution Medication Preparation Instructional Video
accompanies the Guide. It details the step-by-step
medication preparation process for preparing
Doxycycline. This 10 minute video is available in both
VHS and DVD formats.
Below is a link that gives
just a small sample of pages included in the nearly 200
page operations guide.
The Mass Pharmaceutical
Distribution/Dispensing Instruction and Operations Guide
is divided into 15 easy to use sections. Those
sections include:
Each section of the guide
includes all the information and forms needed to run up
to six work stations. Since each section is
individually divided, it is perfect for those sites that
only require a few work stations.
While the process was
originally designed to assure delivery of the MMRS
pharmaceutical cache, including pediatric cases, the
process also enhances and supports Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health
Resources Services Administration (HRSA) pharmaceutical
mass dispensing criteria.
The Mass Pharmaceutical
Distribution/Dispensing Instruction and Operations Guide
and Mass Pharmaceutical Distribution Medication
Preparation Instructional Video is a resource tool
that makes the dispensing site set-up easy to understand
and implement, and gives each worker detailed
instruction of their duties. These unique
resource tools can be used as a direct template, or in
part to enhance your current mass pharmaceutical
dispensing plans. They are available at a cost of
only $90.00, including shipping and handling.
By purchasing this guide
you will be granted access to a secure website that will
allow you to download label templates and forms, as seen
in the guide; as well as updates to the guide as they
become available.

The information and
instructions presented in the Medication Preparation
Video are specific to Doxycycline. The MPD
Instruction Guide was designed by the Metropolitan
Medical Response System of Sedgwick County, Kansas and
is intended for use by jurisdictions having a pre-placed
or local pharmaceutical cache as well as pre-placed
supplies and equipment. However, the process can
also be used for other Mass Pharmaceutical Dispensing
activities, such as Priority Prophylaxis or the
Strategic National Stockpile. It is very important
that all updates and revisions be placed in the MPD
Guide. The MPD Instruction Guide and Medication
Preparation video are copyrighted and by purchasing them
