Whereas, each year, a substantial proportion of vaccine -preventable diseases occur
among adults, despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines; and
Whereas, adult immunization levels continue to lag far behind childhood rates, and
adult morbidity and mortality from vaccine -preventable diseases remain distressingly
high; and
Whereas, adults form the core infrastructure needed to respond to any emergent
public safety and health need; and
Whereas, the burden of and responsibility for vaccinating high-risk and vulnerable
populations often falls upon public health departments and their public partners; and
Whereas, public health is often unable to serve the high-risk and vulnerable
populations within a community because of a lack of timely distribution of vaccine,
especially influenza vaccine; and
Whereas, commercial vaccinators make early bulk purchases of influenza vaccine and
are able to offer mass flu campaigns before public health can vaccinate high-risk
populations; and
Whereas, the federal government and local medical providers look to the public
health infrastructure to be prepared to respond to and coordinate the response of any
communicable disease outbreak, including an influenza pandemic; and
Whereas, the federal government has provided support for the childhood
immunization program nationally that has resulted in dramatic reductions in childhood
vaccine preventable diseases; and
Whereas, an adult immunization infrastructure is needed prior to implementation of a
national universal influenza vaccine recommendation.
