Influenza Update
At the request of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
(CDC) National Immunization Program (NIP), please ensure that the
attached Influenza Vaccine Bulletin #2 for the 2005-2006 season
is widely distributed to colleagues, members, coalitions, and partners
with an interest in the supply, distribution, management and administration
of influenza vaccine.
The Bulletin discusses the 2005/2006 influenza vaccine supply,
provides links to all U.S. licensed influenza vaccine package inserts,
offers updates on Influenza Vaccine Distribution and Administration
and Influenza Vaccine Communications and Resources. The report notes
that FDA has agreed to allow providers to redistribute influenza
vaccine between/among themselves to remedy any misdistribution which
may occur. Finally, the bulletin offers details on upcoming events
such as National Adult Immunization Awareness Week (NAIAW) celebrated
on September 25- October 3, 2005. Access the documents online at:
