The PanVax Tool to Improve Pandemic Influenza Emergency Vaccination Program Readiness and Partnership
Bibliographic Data
Objectives. To show how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Pandemic Vaccine Campaign Planning Tool (PanVax Tool) can help state and local public health emergency planners demonstrate and quantify how partnerships with community vaccine providers can improve their overall pandemic vaccination program readiness. Methods. The PanVax Tool helps planners compare different strategies to vaccinate their jurisdiction’s population in a severe pandemic by allowing users to customize the underlying model inputs in real time, including their jurisdiction’s size, community vaccine provider types, and how they allocate vaccine to these providers. In this report, we used a case study with hypothetical data to illustrate how jurisdictions can utilize the PanVax Tool for preparedness planning. Results. By using the tool, planners are able to understand the impact of engaging with different vaccine providers in a vaccination campaign. Conclusions. The PanVax Tool is a useful tool to help demonstrate the impact of community vaccine provider partnerships on pandemic vaccination readiness and identify areas for improved partnerships for pandemic response
