Report
Note: Workshop Summaries contain the opinion of the presenters, but do NOT reflect the conclusions of the IOM. Learn more about the differences between Workshop Summaries and Consensus Reports.
Following the publication of Calling the Shots, IOM convened three regional workshops and one national workshop to review the findings and recommendations of the report and to identify areas of consensus as well as unresolved concerns that require future attention by public and private officials in strengthening the national immunization system. The workshops were designed not only to foster awareness about the Calling the Shots report, but also to strengthen interactions among public- and private-sector health officials to build consensus about immunization initiatives, and to identify unresolved public health and health finance issues and concerns at the regional, state, and local levels that require further attention from public and private policymakers. The regional workshops were held in Chicago, Austin, and Los Angeles; summaries of each workshop are available.
This report is a summary of the national workshop in Washington, DC in March 2002. The report summarizes the findings of the IOM study Calling the Shots, reviews the status of implementation of the IOM report recommendations at the federal and state levels, and highlights continuing challenges in immunization finance for the nation as a whole and for individual state and local health departments. Participants in the workshop included members of the original study committee and the workshop program committee; state and local health directors; representatives of national health care and public health organizations, health plan associations and business groups; health care providers; congressional staff; and staff from the CDC National Immunization Program and other federal agencies concerned with immunization.
