Georgetown CCF Submits Comments on HHS Vaccination Policy RFI
The Georgetown University Center for Children and Families submitted comments to HHS responding to a Request for Information on federal vaccine recommendation categories and the role of shared clinical decision-making. The comments address how federal vaccination guidance affects clinical practice and policy implementation. The RFI reflects HHS consideration of potential changes to how vaccine recommendations are categorized and communicated to providers and patients. For Medicaid programs, this matters because federal vaccine recommendations drive EPSDT coverage requirements and Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment mandates for children.
Changes to federal vaccine recommendation frameworks could alter Medicaid coverage obligations under EPSDT and affect how state agencies and MCOs implement preventive care requirements.
