Where can we store our TAMIFLU stockpile?

Corporations have two basic options: centralize or decentralize.

Centralize: The corporation can store at a physician’s office, retail pharmacy, mail-order pharmacy, clinic, wholesaler/distributor, etc, that meets the following criteria:

Entity has a DEA number
Files Controlled Substances Registration (CSR)
Adheres to storage guidelines of United States Pharmacopeia (USP)
Entity has sufficient and appropriate storage based on your order quantity and distribution plan

Decentralize: The corporation can decentralize the TAMIFLU stockpile by arranging to distribute the product to recipients in advance of a pandemic (see How can we distribute TAMIFLU? for more information)
