Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 1978 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2021 / Notices in scope. Some of the conditions listed in this section are contraindications or precautions to vaccination, while others are intended to prompt the patient and provider to ask additional questions and investigate further. Section 4 (‘‘Risks of a vaccine reaction’’) sets forth adverse events that could occur after vaccination. Included are discussion of the risk of severe allergic reaction and the remote possibility of serious injury or death. Language for this section has been standardized across VISs to the extent possible while still adhering to vaccinespecific information from the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The complete text of section 5 (‘‘What if there I a serious problem?’’), section 6 (‘‘The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program’’), and section 7 (‘‘How can I learn more?’’), as proposed, matches exactly across all of the vaccine information materials, except for the VIS for rotavirus vaccine which includes additional information related to the risk of intussusception (a very serious adverse event that is specific to rotavirus vaccine) in sections 5 and 6. Text in all sections of the VISs is updated using plain language terms and concepts, and removing some of the more detailed numerical and statistical data, to make the documents more easily understandable to the general public. Because the vaccine information statements are intended for patient education, content that is relevant for providers but not for patients is removed. Language has been updated to reflect a provider-neutral approach, reflecting the fact that vaccines may be administered by medical professionals in a variety of specialty fields (e.g., using the term ‘‘health care provider’’ instead of ‘‘doctor’’ or ‘‘nurse’’). The vaccine information materials referenced in this notice are being developed in consultation with the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines, the Food and Drug Administration, and parent and health care provider groups. We invite written comment on the proposed vaccine information materials. Copies of the proposed vaccine information materials are available at https://www.regulations.gov (see Docket Number CDC–2021–0001). Comments submitted will be considered in VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:36 Jan 08, 2021 Jkt 253001 finalizing these materials. When the final materials are published in the Federal Register, the notice will include an effective date for their mandatory use.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we, or Agency) is requesting comments on a document entitled ‘‘Potential Approach for Defining Durations of Use for Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs Intended for Use In or On Feed: A Concept Paper.’’ The concept paper outlines a potential framework for how sponsors of new animal drug products containing medically important antimicrobial drugs approved for use in or on animal feed might voluntarily establish appropriately defined durations of therapeutic administration to foodproducing animals where none currently exist. Establishing appropriately defined durations of use to mitigate development of antimicrobial resistance would be consistent with previous efforts by FDA to protect public health by promoting the judicious use of these drugs in foodproducing animals.
