Immunizing Agents and Doses
Under § 89.807(b) (relating to immunizing agents, doses and AWPs), the Department of Health has established a table setting forth immunizing agent and dose information extracted from recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, United States Department of Health and Human Services. The relevant ACIP recommendations are those which prescribe child immunization practices and are currently in effect. The child immunization practices specified in those recommendations are subject to the insurance coverage required by the Childhood Immunization Insurance Act (act) (40 P. S. §§ 3501-3508) as explained in § 89.806(a) (relating to coverage of child immunizations).
Under § 89.807(b), the Department of Health is to also periodically publish a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin setting forth the AWPs for dosage units of immunizing agents which the relevant ACIP recommendations prescribe for use in child immunizations. The AWPs are calculated as described in § 89.807(a) and should be recalculated monthly as explained in that subsection.
The immunizing agent and dose information is set forth in this appendix. This information is subject to change. It may be superseded, as explained in §§ 89.806(a) and 89.807(a).
The Department of Health will arrange for an update notice to appear in the Pennsylvania Bulletin within 30 days after a new ACIP recommendation which satisfies the standards in § 89.806(a) is published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a weekly publication of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. The new recommendations will be codified in this appendix.
