NACDS submitted a letter to the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) expressing concern about the inclusion of vaccines in PDAB affordability reviews and strongly encouraging the removal of vaccines as eligible for affordability reviews by the PDAB. Both the Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act mandate that all vaccines recommended by CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) are covered without cost-sharing for all publicly and privately insured individuals.
Also in Oregon, the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) posted the agenda and meeting materials for its next meeting on June 26. Please register in advance of the meeting.
