Vaccines: 2008 Draft Strategic National Vaccine Plan

Preface: Letter from the Assistant Secretary for Health
Given the importance of vaccines and immunizations in the prevention of an expanding number of infectious diseases, it is important that we – as a Department and as a Nation -- clearly articulate our vision for the vaccine and immunization enterprise. In my role as the Assistant Secretary for Health and the Director of the National Vaccine Program, I have directed and monitored the efforts to update the 1994 National Vaccine Plan.
The accompanying draft strategic National Vaccine Plan reflects current priorities and potential future directions for the next decade. This draft Plan offers a clear signal about our goals for vaccines and immunizations to our domestic and international partners in the United States vaccine and immunization enterprise and abroad, both public and private in the United States and abroad. It is a strong beginning, but requires extensive consultation with and input from many partners, including the public. This input will also enable us to develop an implementation plan with discrete activities and measurable milestones. With release of this draft Plan, consultations with stakeholders will begin, led by the National Vaccine Program Office and the National Vaccine Advisory Committee. We all look forward to the final products of these efforts in late 2009.
