  • PREP Act Fact Sheet: Expanding the COVID-19 Vaccination Workforce
    Expanding the COVID-19 Vaccination Workforce COMMITMENT TO ENDING THE COVID- 19 PANDEMIC The federal government is committed to providing enough COVID-19 vaccine for every adult in America who wants to be vaccinated. The Biden Administration is supporting state, local, territorial, and tribal (SLTT) health agencies in administering the vaccines equitably as they become increasingly available. As of March 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized three safe and effective vaccines for emergency use, and federal agencies continue to work with other companies on clinical trials of additional vaccines. Additionally, the federal government has taken significant steps to expand the manufacturing capacity of the authorized vaccines and the supplies needed to administer them. THE NEED FOR VACCINATORS As hundreds of millions more vaccine doses are manufactured and distributed throughout the country, more locations and more healthcare personnel qualified to administer those vaccine doses may be needed. Through the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act Declaration, the federal government has provided a pathway for SLTTs to rapidly expand and support their vaccination workforces as needed – including some healthcare professionals and students in healthcare professions not traditionally in the role of vaccinator and retired healthcare professionals. The PREP Act Declaration should be used by SLTTs to complement other efforts to enhance vaccination awareness and administration, such as health education. In addition, states are encouraged to further expand the categories of persons authorized to administer COVID-19 vaccines in their states, as authorized under the PREP Act, to respond to local needs and availability of potential vaccinators.

  • Meeting the Challenge of Vaccination Hesitancy
    Foreword by Harvey V. Fineberg and Shirley M. Tilghman This publication is based on work funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The findings and conclusions contained within are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Aspen Institute 2300 N Street, N.W. Suite 700 Washington, DC 20037 Sabin Vaccine Institute 2175 K Street, N.W. Suite 400 Washington, DC 20037 ABOUT THE SABIN-ASPEN VACCINE SCIENCE & POLICY GROUP The Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Policy Group brings together senior leaders across many disciplines to examine some of the most challenging vaccine-related issues and drive impactful change. Members are influential, creative, out-of-the-box thinkers who vigorously probe a single topic each year and develop actionable recommendations to advance innovative ideas for the development, distribution, and use of vaccines, as well as evidence- based and cost-effective approaches to immunization. 1 May 2020 We are pleased to introduce the second annual report of the Sabin-Aspen Vaccine Science & Policy Group: Meeting the Challenge of Vaccination Hesitancy. The package of “big ideas” presented here, and the rigorous evidence and consensus-driven insights on which they rest, reassure us that smart strategies are available not only to maintain, restore, and strengthen confidence in the value of vaccines, but also to underscore the broad societal obligation to promote their use. Implementing those strategies requires concerted commitment, and we are deeply grateful to the members of the Vaccine Science & Policy Group, who have helped us identify pathways to progress.
