8.16.2013 Childhood Immunization Status On May 16, 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases released a document based on Sanofi Pasteurs Pentacel (DTaP-IPV/Hib) and Daptacel (DTaP) vaccine shortage. Because these vaccines are expected to be in short supply through summer 2013, does NCQA plan any changes to the CIS measure for HEDIS 2014?

No. NCQA will not make any changes to the vaccine requirements for HEDIS 2014. As indicated by the CDC, "Single-component DTaP, IPV, HepB, and Hib vaccines and other age-appropriate licensed combination vaccines are available to complete series begun with Pentacel or Pediarix. Currently, there is a sufficient supply of these products to meet the anticipated demand." You can find additional information in the Guidance for Vaccinating Children during the 2013 Pentacel, Daptacel and Pediarix Shortage article at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/shortages/downloads/pentacel-guidance.pdf.
