WHEREAS, there has been increasing attention to immunization outreach programs carried out by non-physician providers in non-traditional sites, therefore

Be it resolved that:

The NVPO work with relevant governmental and non-governmental organizations to convene a national workshop within 6 months to gather information on the extent, benefits, and risks, if any, and of adult immunization outreach programs outside of traditional health care settings with special emphasis on the utility of such programs for improving immunization rates in underimmunized adults, and provide NVAC with a written report by 9/98.
