3 The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) formulates and updates recommendations on the most appropriate use of vaccines and related agents for the civilian population in the United States, and disseminates this information to assist States and their political subdivisions in the prevention and control of vaccine-preventable diseases. Section of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA) established a Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. This legislation mandated ACIP to establish a list of vaccines for routine administration to children and adolescents through 18 years of age, along with schedules on the appropriate dosing interval, dose, and contraindications applicable to the pediatric vaccines. This list is used by the Secretary of HHS for the purpose of purchase, delivery, and administration of pediatric vaccines. 20b. How does the Committee balance its membership? During FY18, committee members included experts in the area of use of vaccines and immunologic agents, preventive medicine, epidemiology, infectious diseases, internal medicine, pediatrics, preventive medicine, public health, immunology, and a consumer representative. The racial, ethnic and geographic composition reflects that of the US population; 40% of members are female and 20% of members represent members of racial/ethnic minority groups. Applications are actively solicited from professional organizations representing minority populations. 20c. How frequent and relevant are the Committee Meetings? The committee met three times during FY18. This committee makes vaccine recommendations for FDA licensed vaccines for use in children, adolescents and adults in the United States, regularly evaluates immunization practices in the United States and recommends needed changes, based on evaluation of the risks and benefits of available vaccines and related agents and delivery mechanisms necessary to promote activities in the public and private health sectors. Periodic assessment and revisions are required to the ACIP generated childhood and adult immunization schedules as more data about existing vaccines become available, and as new vaccines become licensed. ACIP continues to address the responsibilities mandated under OBRA. 20d. Why can't the advice or information this committee provides be obtained elsewhere? The committee serves a vitally important role for the U.S. in regularly evaluating the use of vaccines and related agents available for prevention and control of vaccine-preventable diseases in this country to optimize the public health benefits. Its recommendations are based on evaluation of the risks and benefits of vaccines and related agents, and their advice is evidence-based. The committee s responsibilities meet a continuous need for regular review and updating of policies affecting all aspects of evolving immunization practices. There are no existing suitable alternative processes to meet this need.

4 20e. Why is it necessary to close and/or partially closed committee meetings? N/A 21. Remarks No reports required for this committee. Government facilities are used for meetings, eliminating the need for meeting space rental. Caroline Quach replaced Ian Gemmill on 6/9/2017 as NACI liaison and should have been reported in the FY17 report.
