Hello, AIRA Members –
You may have heard that the National Quality Forum (NQF) is currently considering two immunization-related measures. The NQF Prevention and Population Health Standing Committee reviewed the Prenatal Immunization Status (PRS) and the Adult Immunization Status (AIS) measures for endorsement consideration. The PRS measure has been recommended for endorsement, while the Committee did not reach consensus on the AIS measure. The Committee is seeking comments from the public on all measures, in particular on the AIS measure given that consensus was not reached (see draft report attached, or visit this site for more information).
AIRA has drafted the attached comments letter and seeks your feedback to respond as a community on these measures. Here is our collection schedule, given the upcoming deadline for submission of comments by May 28.
- May 18, 2020: Please submit any edits/additions you have on the attached draft comments to Liz Abbott by this date.
- May 22, 2020: Final edits/additions will be integrated, and final comments will be shared with the community (with encouragement to echo themes and language across our organizations)
- May 28, 6pm ET: Comments will be submitted by AIRA and other community partners by the deadline for submission. After this process, final comments can be submitted here and more information is available here.
Questions? Please contact Liz Abbott. As always, thank you for your efforts to coordinate and amplify the voice of immunizations and public health!
