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;
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
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,
ACIP RecommendationsACIP RecommendationsPersons aged 25 through 64 years who
have health conditions associated with higher risk of medical complications from influenza. Chronic pulmonary disease, including asthmaCardiovascular diseaseRenal, hepatic, neurological/neuromuscular, or
hematologic disordersImmunosuppresionMetabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus
ACIP RecommendationsACIP Recommendations Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized Once the demand for vaccine for the prioritized
groups has been met at the local level, groups has been met at the local level, programs and providers should also begin programs and providers should also begin vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 vaccinating everyone from the ages of 25 through 64 years.through 64 years.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Strategies for VaccinationStrategies for VaccinationCheck with local public health unit
about local strategies.Mass Immunization ClinicsSchool Clinics:Vaccination similar to seasonal
influenza vaccination. (mixture of private and public)
Seasonal Influenza Seasonal Influenza VaccinationVaccination
May be started when vaccine is available.May be administered at the same time as
H1N1.ACIP recommendations published and
available at: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5808a1.htm?s_cid=rr5808a1_e. No changes from last season.
Some private vaccine has already shipped.
Pneumococcal VaccinationPneumococcal Vaccination The ACIP recommends that persons The ACIP recommends that persons
recommended for pneumococcal vaccine recommended for pneumococcal vaccine receive it in light of the potential for receive it in light of the potential for increased risk of pneumococcal disease increased risk of pneumococcal disease associated with influenza. associated with influenza.
There are at present no recommendations There are at present no recommendations to give pneumococcal vaccine to groups for to give pneumococcal vaccine to groups for whom it is not currently recommended. whom it is not currently recommended.
ACIP will revisit this question over the ACIP will revisit this question over the summer as epidemiologic data from the summer as epidemiologic data from the Southern hemisphere influenza season and Southern hemisphere influenza season and from the U.S. become available. from the U.S. become available.
