Provider Input on Critical Immunization Issues

archived

The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a methodology to obtain timely input from a nationally representative sample of healthcare providers on current, critical immunization issues. The objectives of this project are (1) to institute a strategy and process for making multiple inquiries to providers each year of the 3-year project to collect immunization-related data using scientifically sound methods with adequate response rates that produce generalizable results, and (2) to disseminate those results broadly to assist in informing recommendations for new vaccines, developing strategies to improve immunization coverage, and instituting contingency plans to address urgent problems (e.g., vaccine supply shortages).
