The PEPPPI was initiated in July 2005 to discuss and rank goals for a pandemic influenza vaccination program and to pilot test a new model for engaging citizens on vaccine related policy decisions (The Vaccine Policy Analysis CollaborativE, VPACE). This model was developed earlier in 2003 (see public engagement page). PEPPPI was sponsored by a network of 14 public and private organizations throughout the United States listed on the cover of the report.
"After reading the report I have to tell you that this is the best public engagement project and report that I have seen. I really think that what you've done is groundbreaking and should be required reading for all of us who are involved in--or care about-- public engagement. Congratulations on your great work."

This initiative was sponsored by The Keystone Center and Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). This project engaged citizens and stakeholders in discussions and deliberations about the tradeoffs associated with community control measures which might be implemented early on against pandemic influenza.
To conduct this public engagement, the sponsors made use of the Policy Analysis CollaborativE (PACE), an innovative model for engaging both the organized stakeholder public made up of groups such as professional health societies, business groups, and education associations, and the general public made up of citizens-at-large.
Engagement of both publics helped inform the development of a sound national strategy and help build public support for whatever guidance is finally adopted. |
