SUMMARIES OF MAJOR ARTICLES FEATURED IN NVIC'S WEEKLY THE VACCINE REACTION JOURNAL WERE POSTED TO THE HOMEPAGE.

ADVOCACY ADVOCACY PORTAL ACTIVITIES THE WEB-BASED NVIC ADVOCACY PORTAL AND WEBSITE, CREATED IN 2010, IS MANAGED BY NVIC'S DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY WITH STAFF SUPPORT FROM THE PART-TIME STATE ADVOCACY ASSISTANT, SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT AND ADVOCACY PORTAL CONTENT ASSISTANT. THIS FREE ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, WHICH MAINTAINS UP-TO- DATE INFORMATION ON PROPOSED STATE AND FEDERAL VACCINE-RELATED LEGISLATION, ALSO CONNECTS REGISTERED USERS ELECTRONICALLY WITH THEIR OWN LEGISLATORS SO THEY CAN TAKE ACTION TO DEFEND MEDICAL PRIVACY AND FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, CONSCIENCE AND VACCINE INFORMED CONSENT RIGHTS. THE ADVOCACY PORTAL STAFF MONITORS AND ISSUES ACTION ALERTS ON VACCINE-RELATED BILLS MOVING IN STATE LEGISLATURES. IN FYE 2018, THE NVIC ADVOCACY PORTAL STAFF MONITORED 389 VACCINE-RELATED STATE BILLS AND ANALYZED, ACTIVELY TRACKED AND REPORTED ON 143 BILLS ACROSS 36 STATES. SIGNIFICANTLY, 33 PERCENT OF THE 143 BILLS THAT NVIC CONSIDERED IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO TAKE A POSITION ON WERE BILLS THAT NVIC SUPPORTED BECAUSE THEY PROPOSED TO EXPAND OR ADD INFORMED CONSENT PROTECTIONS IN VACCINE LAWS RATHER THAN REMOVE THEM. THERE WERE ABOUT 64,500 VISITS TO THE NVICADVOCACY.ORG WEBSITE WITH 172,266 PAGE VIEWS THIS FISCAL YEAR. OUT OF THE 82 STATE BILLS THAT NVIC OPPOSED IN THE 2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION, 17 BILLS PASSED, WITH ONLY FOUR OF THOSE BILLS HAVING ELEMENTS THAT NVIC STRONGLY OPPOSED. IN 2018, NO STATE LEGISLATURE REMOVED VACCINE EXEMPTIONS. SINCE 2015, THIS MARKS THE THIRD LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN A ROW DURING WHICH MEDICAL, RELIGIOUS AND CONSCIENTIOUS BELIEF VACCINE EXEMPTIONS WERE NOT LOST IN ANY STATE. FOLLOWING IS A BREAKDOWN OF FOUR PRIMARY AREAS TRACKED BY THE ADVOCACY PORTAL STAFF IN 2018: "EXEMPTIONS AND INFORMED CONSENT. THERE WERE 61 BILLS AFFECTING VACCINE EXEMPTIONS AND INFORMED CONSENT RIGHTS FILED IN 2018 AND NVIC SUPPORTED 37 AND OPPOSED 20 OF THE BILLS. NO BILL PROPOSING TO ELIMINATE VACCINE EXEMPTIONS MOVED FORWARD. "VACCINE MANDATES. OUT OF 19 BILLS PROPOSING TO ADD NEW MANDATES, ONLY TWO BILLS PASSED (IN LOUISANA AND MAINE TO REQUIRE MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINATIONS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN). " VACCINE TRACKING AND REPORTING. A TOTAL OF 22 BILLS RELATED TO STATE ELECTRONIC VACCINE TRACKING REGISTRIES WERE INTRODUCED, INCLUDING 6 BILLS TO EXPAND THE REGISTRIES TO INCLUDE THE VACCINATION STATUS OF ALL ADULTS. IN FLORIDA, SEVERAL BILLS PROPOSED TO LEGALLY REQUIRE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO USE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS DATABASES TO MONITOR VACCINATIONS RECEIVED (OR NOT RECEIVED) BY EVERY STATE RESIDENT. NONE OF THESE BILLS MOVED FORWARD. " VACCINES. THERE WERE 37 BILLS THAT PROPOSED TO USE STATE TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO PROMOTE AND MARKET FEDERALLY RECOMMENDED VACCINES IN DAYCARES, SCHOOLS AND MEDICAL FACILITIES. SIX OF THESE BILLS PASSED IN ALABAMA, ILLINOIS, LOUISIANA, RHODE ISLAND, DELAWARE AND INDIANA. VACCINE MARKETING RESOLUTIONS WERE PASSED IN 11 STATES TO PROMOTE SHINGLES VACCINATIONS TO ADULTS. THE MOST NOTABLE CHANGE OBSERVED IN THE 2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION WAS THE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN VOLUME AND FREQUENCY OF DIRECT COMMUNICATIONS AND REQUESTS BY LEGISLATIVE OFFICES FOR BACKGROUND, PERSPECTIVE AND FEEDBACK ON DRAFTING VACCINE-RELATED BILLS OR RESOLUTIONS, INCLUDING IN SUPPORT OF NVIC'S MISSION. NVIC STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS RECEIVED MORE DIRECT REQUESTS FOR INVOLVEMENT AND ASSISTANCE BY STATE LEGISLATORS AND STAFF DURING 2018 THAN IN ANY OTHER YEAR.

DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MONITORED ACCV MEETINGS HELD IN WASHINGTON, D.C. BY TELEPHONE AND MADE PUBLIC COMMENT DURING THE DEC. 8, 2017 ACCV MEETING ABOUT THE NEED FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO BE GIVEN EQUAL TIME TO PRESENT EVIDENCE FOR THE ADDITION OF NEW INJURIES TO THE VACCINE INJURY TABLE (VIT) OF THE VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION PROGRAM (VICP).

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND VOLUNTEER DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AND PATIENT SAFETY MONITORED ACIP MEETINGS HELD IN ATLANTA AND NVAC MEETINGS HELD IN WASHINGTON, D.C. BY TELEPHONE. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PROVIDED PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE MAY 3, 2018 NVAC MEETING ON LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN NVAC'S DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOCUSING ON WAYS TO INCREASE HPV VACCINE COVERAGE IN THE U.S. AT THE JUNE 25, 2018 MEETING, SHE COMMENTED THAT NVAC APPEARED TO BE IN A RUSH TO OBTAIN REQUIRED PUBLIC COMMENTS VIA THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON NVAC'S DRAFT HPV VACCINE RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH LACKED ADEQUATE INFORMED CONSENT PROTECTIONS. IN ADDITION: "CDC VACCINE INFORMATION STATEMENT REVISIONS: AS AN ORGANIZATION WITH STANDING DUE TO THE ROLE OF NVIC CO-FOUNDERS IN SECURING VACCINE SAFETY INFORMING, RECORDING AND REPORTING PROVISIONS IN THE 1986 NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT, THE CDC INVITED NVIC TO PARTICIPATE IN TELECONFERENCE STAKEHOLDER DISCUSSIONS IN 2016 ABOUT PROPOSED REVISIONS TO VACCINE INFORMATION STATEMENTS (VIS) PUBLISHED BY THE CDC THAT ARE MANDATED TO BE GIVEN BY VACCINE PROVIDERS TO PARENTS OF MINOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS RECEIVING FEDERALLY RECOMMENDED CHILDHOOD VACCINES. DURING FYE 2018, THE CDC DID NOT CALL A VIS STAKEHOLDER REVIEW MEETING. NVIC MADE A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT THE FEDERAL PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR VIS REVISIONS BEGIN ONLY AFTER VACCINE STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND REVISION REQUESTS FROM CDC'S SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS HAD BEEN CONSIDERED AND/OR INCORPORATED INTO THE VIS PROPOSED DRAFT TO ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON THE MOST CURRENT VIS DRAFT UNDER CONSIDERATION. THE CDC'S RESPONSE TO NVIC'S REQUEST STATED THAT THE VIS REVISION PROCESS IS NOT SPECIFICALLY OUTLINED IN THE 1986 ACT AND CDC OFFICIALS ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE PROCESS THEY ARE USING. "PUBLIC COMMENT TO FDA: NVIC'S CO-FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT/CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUBMITTED A WRITTEN REFERENCED PUBLIC COMMENT TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ON JUNE 8, 2018 ON PREGNANT WOMEN: SCIENTIFIC AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR INCLUSION IN CLINICAL TRIALS; DRAFT GUIDANCE; AVAILABILITY.

IN 2018, NO STATE LEGISLATURE REMOVED VACCINE EXEMPTIONS. SINCE 2015, THIS MARKS THE THIRD LEGISLATIVE SESSION IN A ROW DURING WHICH MEDICAL, RELIGIOUS AND CONSCIENTIOUS BELIEF VACCINE EXEMPTIONS WERE NOT LOST IN ANY STATE.

THERE WERE 61 BILLS AFFECTING VACCINE EXEMPTIONS AND INFORMED CONSENT RIGHTS FILED IN 2018 AND NVIC SUPPORTED 37 AND OPPOSED 20 OF THE BILLS.
