Legislative Update: Expected Impacts of a Federal Government Shutdown on Oct. 1

Under the current Continuing Resolution passed on March 15, government funding will expire at 12:01 AM ET on the morning of Oct. 1. A Continuing Resolution (CR) extends government funding at existing levels in lieu of passage of a regular appropriations bill—occasionally with minor fiscal changes or additional policy “rider” amendments included—for a predetermined amount of time. Unless Congress reaches a deal on an additional funding package, federal government activities and operations deemed “nonessential” will temporarily cease, while “essential” functions and mandatory spending such as Social Security and Medicare payments will continue under contingency plans determined by federal agencies and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Since 1980, there have been 14 government shutdowns, with the longest and most recent shutdown to date occurring from Dec. 22, 2018 – Jan. 25, 2019 under the first Trump administration.

Joint Comment Letter for Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)

As organizations representing public health, patients, family caregivers, and healthcare professionals, we have a clear stake in the availability of vaccines. Vaccines represent one of our most effective tools in preventing disease and improving quality of life, throughout the lifespan. The proceedings and recommendations of the CDC’s ACIP have a huge impact on trust and confidence in vaccines, and in Americans’ ability to access those life-saving vaccines. Recognizing the critical importance of this meeting, we respectfully submit the following recommendations.
