Biotech Distributor BDI Pharma, Inc. (Formerly known as Blood Diagnostics, Inc.) to Continue Accepting Flu Pre Books as New H1N1 Recommendation for Seasonal Vaccine Emerges

COLUMBIA, SC--(Marketwire - March 04, 2010) -

BDI Pharma, Inc. (BDI), the fastest growing national distributor of biotech therapies, will continue accepting pre book orders for the 2010 - 2011 flu season, as recent recommendations provided by the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee suggest that manufacturers include the H1N1 strain in the upcoming seasonal flu vaccine. Due to these recommendations, BDI anticipates an uptake in pre book orders.

“Due to last year’s H1N1 pandemic, this past flu season proved to be one of the industry’s most challenging in recent history. As manufacturers shifted their attention to the production of H1N1, the seasonal flu vaccine became increasingly scarce” said Jennifer Jacobson, VP of Corporate Programs for BDI. “The importance of pre booking became fundamentally clear when healthcare providers that booked with us early received their orders in full, thus avoiding the challenges faced by others who waited until the season began.”

BDI Pharma accepts pre books for seasonal flu vaccine over the phone, via fax or through their dedicated flu program website, www.securiflu.com. Providers may call customer service at 1-800-948-9834, fax their completed pre book forms to 803-781-3349 or sign in to the easy-to-use SecuriFLU website and place their orders electronically.
