- The dates for a new ACIP meeting, rescheduled from February, will be announced on March 21, 2025, in the Federal Register posted online.
- Regarding recent discussion and debate about potential ACIP member conflicts of interest, there are very strict rules associated with ACIP members and their participation in the committee. CDC has recently posted a website that lists, over the past 25 years, any member who described any potential conflict of interest during any ACIP meeting between the year 2000 and the end of 2024.
- A survey [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RGZBG8V] from the NAIIS Payment Working Group [https://www.izsummitpartners.org/naiis-workgroups/billing-coding-payment-taskgroup/] has been posted to the Summit website. The survey form is looking for providers to anonymously report any challenges or barriers they’ve been having with billing and coding with regards to immunization. NAIIS is hoping to gather that information so they can discuss the challenges and barriers with payors and make it easier for providers to get reimbursed for their services.
