Priorities for the National Vaccine Plan

2010

The authors examine the complexities of the vaccine enterprise, a fundamental component of preventive medicine and public health, from research and development of new vaccines to financing and reimbursement of immunization services.  The current climate, socially, economically and politically, presents challenges and opportunities to the U.S. to strengthen the existing systems of developing, manufacturing, regulating, distributing, funding, and administering safe and effective vaccines for all people.  The authors present recommendations for priority actions intended to achieve the dual objectives of disease prevention and increases in vaccine safety.
