Frequently Asked Questions
Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors (VAWD®) is an accreditation program of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) for wholesale distributors.
NABP developed VAWD® in response to the Food and Drug Administration's Counterfeit Drug Task Force findings and recommendation that NABP update its Model Rules for the Licensure of Wholesale Distributors. As a result, NABP revised its Model Rules for the Licensure of Wholesale Distributors, which were originally developed in 1987 to assist states with the implementation of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act, and created an accreditation program and information clearinghouse for wholesale distributors to combat counterfeit drugs.
VAWD® identifies legitimate and legally operating wholesale distributors and verifies compliance with state and federal laws (including Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)) for wholesale distribution to ultimately help protect the public from the threat of counterfeit drugs, which could infiltrate the United States medication supply. Additionally, VAWD® accreditation relieves wholesale distributors of the burden of seller-to-buyer due diligence as may be required by law.
Once a wholesaler is VAWD® accredited, a scheduled on-site survey will occur once every three years. However, NABP may elect to survey the wholesale distributor facility at any time, after giving notice and consulting with the wholesale distributor, if NABP receives information indicating that the wholesale distributor may be out of compliance with any of the VAWD® criteria. NABP may also resurvey the facility if it has moved to a new location.
