ACIP RecommendationsACIP Recommendations Pregnant womenPregnant women because they are at higher because they are at higher

risk of complications and can potentially provide risk of complications and can potentially provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated; protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated;

Household contacts and caregivers for Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of agechildren younger than 6 months of age because younger infants are at higher risk of because younger infants are at higher risk of influenza-related complications and cannot be influenza-related complications and cannot be vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close contact with infants less than 6 months old contact with infants less than 6 months old might help protect infants by “cocooning” them might help protect infants by “cocooning” them from the virus; from the virus;

Page 30: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsHealthcare and emergency

medical services personnel because infections among healthcare workers have been reported and this can be a potential source of infection for vulnerable patients. Also, increased absenteeism in this population could reduce healthcare system capacity; Include public health personnel

Page 31: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsAll people from 6 months through 24

years of age Children from 6 months through 18 years

of age because many cases of novel H1N1 influenza are in children and they are in close contact with each other in school and day care settings, which increases the likelihood of disease spread, and

Young adults 19 through 24 years of age because many cases of novel H1N1 influenza are in these healthy young adults and they often live, work, and study in close proximity, and they are a frequently mobile population; and,

Page 32: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

Current studies indicate that the risk for Current studies indicate that the risk for infection among persons age 65 or older is less infection among persons age 65 or older is less than the risk for younger age groups. However, than the risk for younger age groups. However, once vaccine demand among younger age once vaccine demand among younger age groups has been met, programs and providers groups has been met, programs and providers should offer vaccination to people 65 or oldershould offer vaccination to people 65 or older. .

ACIP RecommendationsACIP Recommendations If demand exceeds supply (not expected):

pregnant women, people who live with or care for children

younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency medical

services personnel with direct patient contact,

children 6 months through 4 years of age, and

children 5 through 18 years of age who have chronic medical conditions.

Page 35: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

DistributionDistributionH1N1 vaccine purchased from

manufacturers by the federal government.Vaccine is allocated to states based on

population.ND should receive 0.208% of vaccine supply.

H1N1 vaccine will be distributed through a third party distributor (McKesson).Same distributor as Vaccines For Children (VFC)

vaccine.Will also ship ancillary supplies (needles,

syringes, etc.)Increments of 100 doses per vaccine type.

Page 36: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

DistributionDistributionMcKesson will report doses shipped

to the NDDoH.Electronically transferred to inventories

in NDIIS.Unknown number of sites for vaccine

to be shipped to in North Dakota.Providers should check cold storage

capabilities.What is the maximum amount of

storage available during seasonal influenza vaccination?

Page 37: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

EnrollmentEnrollmentProviders are required to sign an

enrollment form in order to receive H1N1 vaccine.CDC is creating a standardized form. It is

currently unavailable.Enrollment needed regardless if already

enrolled in VFC program.Unknown if each site needs to enroll or if a

health system can enroll.Enrollment requirements unknown, but

most likely include:Proper storage and handlingFollowing of ACIP recommendationsReporting of doses administered?

Page 38: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

Administration FeeAdministration FeeThe federal government will set a

maximum administration fee.Most likely at the Medicare rate: $18.45/dose in

North Dakota. (Different than Medicaid fee cap for VFC: $13.90)

Administration fee may be billed to patient, Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, etc.

Local public health units cannot refuse to vaccinate based on inability to pay.Private providers will probably be able to refuse

vaccination if patient is unable to pay.

Page 39: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

NDIISNDIISThe North Dakota Immunization

Information System (NDIIS) will be used to track doses administered.Similar data entry to other vaccines, but

includes high-risk groups for vaccination.Exploring the possibility of scanning.

Doses administered must be reported to CDC by the state on a weekly basis.Report each Tuesday for the previous

week.

Page 40: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

NDIISNDIISAbility to run reports to determine

who needs second dose vaccination.Reminder/Recall conducted by NDDoH.

Must have username and password to access the NDIIS.

Contact the NDDoH at 701.328.3386 or toll-free at 800.472.2180 if interested in obtaining access.

Trainings are being scheduled for the NDIIS.

Page 41: H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Planning Videoconference

VAERSVAERSVaccine adverse events should be

reported to the NDDoH.Forms available at:

http://vaers.hhs.gov/ or through the NDDoH Immunization Program.

VAERS module will be available in NDIIS.Same fields as VAERS form.Pre-populated with demographic and

vaccine information from NDIIS.
