According to the post:

" ... applicants pursuing the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) Drug Distributor Accreditation (formerly the Verified Accredited Wholesale Distributor program or VAWD) are not being cleared for survey unless the applicants sufficiently prove they have a process in place to detect and prevent the spread of COVID-19. I think we can all agree from a public health perspective this makes sense. However, the challenge here, as everyone who has ever been through this accreditation process is well aware of, NABP is not the best at providing clear guidance as to what they specifically want from the applicant to satisfy their standards. This new requirement is no exception as many applicants find themselves going back and forth with NABP hoping to mitigate costly and time consuming survey delays."
