Naip Response - Daniel Boyle
2009 H1N1 vaccine was covered only by the CICP.) Also, my employer
did not support my Workers Compensation claim.
Since my vaccine injury I am advocating for the right of full informed
consent for all medical procedures, including immunization, without
coercion, for all persons. I am also advocating for additional support for
persons injured by vaccines, including proactive measures to identify
the vaccine injured.1
My comments and recommendations follow, organized in relation to
the Goals and Objectives of the Draft NAIP listed below in italics.
Goal 1: Strengthen the Adult Immunization Infrastructure
A strong public health surveillance system to evaluate vaccines
must also include a strong surveillance system to detect vaccine
injuries. Designing a comprehensive system of surveillance that
better monitors Adverse Events Following Immunizations (AEFIs),
and vaccine caused injuries and deaths will contribute to
improved quality outcomes for vaccine campaigns, and safer
vaccines.
Objective 1.2: Enhance current vaccine safety monitoring systems and
develop new methods to accurately and more rapidly assess vaccine
safety and efficacy in adult populations (e.g., pregnant women).
Primary care providers do not easily recognize vaccine injuries.
We do not have a workable estimate of the distribution,
incidence or prevalence of vaccine injuries. Without basic
epidemiology of vaccine injuries we cannot design a truly qualitybased vaccine system. And without this important data we
cannot know if we are improving vaccine quality from the point
of view of reducing injuries and deaths from vaccines. It is
important that any plan for improving the use, safety and
efficacy of vaccines includes a plan to establish this basic
epidemiology of vaccine caused injury and mortality.
Where vaccines are mandated by employers or other entities
additional active monitoring for adverse effects by independent
entities is needed. It is needed to offset the encroachment on
individual rights, and the added risk carried by those receiving
immunizations under those circumstances.
