I was trolling around pandemicflu.gov today and noticed this. I guess it was posted back in December. For anyone interested in providing input, the deadline to send submissions to HHS is January 18.
Request for Information (RFI): Guidance for Priortization of Pre-pandemic and Pandemic Influenza Vaccine
....
For the purpose of developing pandemic influenza vaccine prioritization guidance, HHS requests input from the public on priorities for allocation of both pre-pandemic and pandemic influenza vaccines based on various pandemic severity and vaccine supply scenarios. HHS is interested in receiving comments on factors that should be considered in order to provide guidance on priority groups for pre-pandemic and pandemic vaccines to best achieve national pandemic response goals. As described earlier, the goals of the federal response to an influenza pandemic include to: (1) stop, slow, or otherwise limit the spread of the pandemic to the United States; (2) limit the domestic spread of the pandemic and mitigate the disease, suffering, and death; and (3) sustain infrastructure and mitigate impact to the economy and functioning of society. HHS is particularly interested in receiving responses to the following questions:
- What objectives, principles, strategies, criteria, assumptions and rationales should be considered in pandemic vaccine prioritization determinations?
- What is the relative importance of the three goals described above and what are the associated implications for vaccine prioritization?
- Which population group(s) should have priority for receiving pre-pandemic vaccine? Which should have priority for receiving pandemic vaccine? What is the rationale?
- How can fairness, equity, efficiency and related principles be reflected in the determination of priority groupings for receipt of pre-pandemic or pandemic vaccine?
- For priority groups, how should vaccine be allocated, distributed and administered? Who (federal, State or local authorities) should determine when and how the vaccine is distributed and administered?
