The Commission is continuing its work on vaccine coverage and access for adults enrolled in Medicaid. In September 2021, staff shared findings from an analysis of National Health Interview Survey data estimating adult vaccination rates. Staff also presented a policy framework for assessing federal policy options that could help improve vaccination coverage and access for Medicaid-enrolled adults.
In this presentation, staff presented key findings from stakeholder interviews with state and federal officials, Medicaid managed care plans, providers, vaccine manufacturers, immunization experts, and a consumer group. Staff also presented an initial assessment of the policy options based on the findings from stakeholder interviews.
