1987 to comply with Title XXI of the Public Health Service Act (Pub. L. 
99-660) (Sec.  2105) (42 U.S. Code 300aa-5 (PDF-78 KB)). Its purpose is 
to advise and make recommendations to the Director of the National 
Vaccine Program on matters related to program responsibilities. The 
Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH) has been designated by the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services as the Director of the National 
Vaccine Program. The ASH has charged the NVAC with developing 
recommended strategies for annually achieving 90% influenza vaccination

(AWIG), was established to address this charge on behalf of the NVAC. 
The HCPIVS consists of a broad range of stakeholders including 
representatives from a variety of important medical and public health 
agencies and professional organizations. The HCPIVS members have 
deliberated on a number of scientific findings, position statements, 
and presentations that examine issues pertaining to influenza
