  9. CHEMPACK Program • Nerve agent antidotes • antidotes more readily available • improve local response time • treat thousands of patients (including peds) • Federally owned cache • decrease cost to local areas: initial and replacement • Shelf-Life Extension Program (SLEP)

  10. Shelf-Life Extension Program • Previously- military • SNS in conjunction with the FDA may extend shelf-life of meds (expiration date) • Strict criteria: • storage and security • Meds from CHEMPACK: • regardless of dating on vials/packages…. • ensured potency!! • Just implemented for Tamiflu susp.
