Discussion Topics• Background• Vaccine Update • Minimum Dataset Tracking• Planning considerations for

Project Areas and CDC• Discussion and Q&A

TM3

Background• The National Strategy for Pandemic

Influenza: Implementation Plan calls for monitoring appropriate use of scarce pre-pandemic/pandemic influenza vaccine

• To accomplish this, Project Areas are expected to track pandemic influenza (PI) vaccine doses administered at the individual patient level and then send a subset of data on a weekly basis to CDC

• CDC’s Countermeasure and Response Administration (CRA) system has been modified to provide flexible ways for Project Areas to report vaccine doses administered

TM4

Rationale for Tracking Vaccine

•DAX2009 Project is replaced by H1N1 vaccine doses administered

•Pandemic Plan is applied to H1N1 Response

•Vaccines will be limited in the initial months needing to be monitored to ensure critical infrastructure is vaccinated first

•Accountability for vaccine administration

TM5

Vaccine Update

• Manufacturing, Distribution and Administration

• Priority Groups• Currently, priority groups remain

the same• In the coming months, it will be

clearer if there will be changes; great flexibility is needed

TM6

Vaccine Update cont.• Vaccine expected to be available in

September• Larger volumes of data will be sent for H1N1

vaccinations compared to the CRA exercises • Data sent weekly to CDC by Tuesday 11:59

pm of your respective time zone• Quality control measures will be employed

• Completeness• Timeliness

TM7

Planning Considerations at Project Area Level

• Coordination with clinics• Coordination with the preparedness

officer and local health departments• Technical (digital certificates, IT

etc.)• Possible alternative to digital certificates

• Operational (recruiting staff and volunteers)

• Training Materials

TM8

Planning Consideration at CDC Level

• Modifications in the CRA application• Reconfirm CRA options with Project

Areas• Changes in the data exchange

specification• Training materials and guidance• Data presentation• Possible changes in security measures

for CRA application access

TM9

Next Steps – Project Areas• By May 30th, Project Areas need

to• Confirm POC and Option Choice

• Identify needs and gaps • Expect a one-on-one call from

CDC CRA point of contact to further understand preliminary plans
