The New Hampshire Immunization

Program, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), invites you to participate in a Community Engagement

Meeting, Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the New

Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public

Health Services, to discuss how, and whether, CDC and the Advisory

Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) incorporate values and social

factors into the decision-making process for childhood

immunization.

This Community Engagement Meeting in Concord, NH, is one of four meetings

that will be conducted around the country to delve into important public

policy questions related to childhood vaccines and to give that input to

the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC, and the

public.

Factors for consideration in policy-making decisions might include

severity and rarity of a disease, the costs and cost effectiveness

associated with a vaccine for the disease, and the impact on the infant

immunization schedule. The meeting participants will be asked to weigh

what questions should be considered by CDC and discuss ways that ACIP and

CDC can incorporate differing factors and priorities into the decisions

regarding a new vaccine.

The New Hampshire Community Engagement meeting will include briefings on

the present ACIP process for formulating vaccine use

recommendations. Currently ACIP discussion takes place around

disease burden, vaccine safety and efficacy, and program feasibility, as

well as overall costs, cost effectiveness, and the challenges of

protecting children from rare but serious diseases and the high emotional

and financial costs.

This meeting, and three others in cities around the country, will bring

regional priorities to a panel of national-level stakeholders who will

work toward a recommendation to CDC. The meetings will focus on the

specific example of meningococcal vaccines for infants and children.

Values and social factors, indeed. "Using the meningitis vaccine as an example," as if that vaccine isn't the whole point. This is just a ploy to get people to accept it under the guise of which way is best.
