Public Health s Con(nuing Role in Immuniza(on Monitor impact and strengthen evidence base for vaccine policy & programs Improve access to quality immunization services Detect & respond to outbreaks of vaccinepreventable disease Prevention of disease Enhance partnership w/ community vaccinators & private providers Improve preparedness to deliver vaccines in public health emergencies Safely distribute public sector vaccines; manage vaccine supply disruptions and shortages Current priority issues for state and national focus Pertussis Resurgence Lagging HPV Coverage Rates Measles Importations and Outbreaks Short Window of Opportunity to Leverage EHR Revolution Vaccine Management and Quality Improvement
FY 2013 Sec(on 317 Report to Congress State and Local Opera(ons Stewardship and accountability for publicly purchased vaccine and Sec:on 317 and VFC opera:ons funding Assess program performance to drive program improvement Assure access to vaccines Assure that immuniza:on informa:on technology supports programma:c goals Strengthen and sustain preparedness for vaccina:on emergencies, including pandemics
Addi(onal Requirements Beginning in FY 2012: discussion of the evolving role of Federal programs as expanded coverage for vaccination becomes more available from private and public sources.
Considera(ons for Future Planning and Forecas(ng VFC Program dollars are majority of federal immunization resources Mandatory entitlement to eligible children Stable source of funding to meet vaccine need Restricted funding cannot meet urgent vaccine needs Discretionary Immunization funding is more complex and diverse Various funding streams with different requirements and reporting Majority of support for public health immunization infrastructure More flexible funding for program priorities and urgent vaccine needs Role of public health in evolving health insurance landscape
