The Public Health Law provided a two year implementation period to enable providers to be phased in through continuous regional roll out. Throughout 2008 and 2009 multiple training opportunities and methods were available to all providers Statewide. It is important to note that those who are not currently participating are out of compliance with the legislative mandate and are a full two years behind in reporting. Failure to comply with public health law could result in a penalty of up to $2,000 per violation. It is imperative that any provider organization that has not yet attended training or begun reporting to NYSIIS take the necessary steps to do so by reviewing the contents of this letter. As in the past two years, classroom trainings will be available regionally. Classroom training sessions as well as live webinar trainings have been scheduled for February through June 2010. In addition, recorded webinar trainings and self-guided online tutorials are continuously available for use at your convenience. There is a lot of information on the HPN NYSIIS page, especially under "Training Information" and "Information for Providers."

CDC Reinstates Hib Booster Dose Due to Improving Supply (posted 6/27/2009) Due to an improving supply of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in consultation with the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians, reinstated the booster dose of Hib vaccine for all children 12 through 15 months of age on June 25th.
Recommendations for reinstatement of Hib booster dose Infants should receive their primary Hib series at ages 2, 4 and 6 months, and a Hib booster dose on time at 12 through 15 months of age.
Older children for whom a Hib booster dose was deferred should receive the Hib booster at the next routinely scheduled visit or medical encounter. Mass recall of children for their catch-up Hib booster dose is not recommended at this time because physicians may encounter supply problems during such a massive recall.
"Updated Recommendations for Use of Haemophilus influenzae Type b (Hib) Vaccine: Reinstatement of the Booster Dose at Ages 12-15 Months," MMWR, June 26. Although Merck has not yet returned to market with its Hib-containing vaccines, sanofi pasteur has increased production of monovalent Hib vaccine, PRP-T (ActHIB), and DTaP-IPV/Hib (Pentacel). Enough Hib-containing vaccine is now available for distribution to allow a return to the full dose schedule for all children 12 through 15 months of age and for children 15 through 60 months who come in for routine health services and who did not receive their booster dose. Providers should expect some additional doses of Hib vaccine each month. However, supplies are not yet adequate to support a mass recall of children whose booster dose was delayed.
For more information, see the article in the July 2009 issue of AAP News, in addition to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) dispatch. The MMWR dispatch includes additional recommendations to ensure that eligible patients receive all currently recommended doses of this important immunization. Return to top
