This toolkit provides you with the background and the materials to become a CLOSED Point of Dispensing (POD). The toolkit will answer key questions about what it takes to become a CLOSED POD, allowing your organization to fully develop such a program jointly with your local public health agency.
 

The materials of this toolkit are not a substitute for a complete CLOSED POD plan, but rather provide reference documents to help you begin the planning process, working with your local public health agency to develop a plan that's just right for you.
