Concerns about varied payment rates may contribute to provider uncertainty about timely reimbursement and could further factor into decisions about whether to continue stocking and administering vaccines over the long term.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Policymakers and stakeholder advocates are considering potential reforms that aim to alleviate these challenges. The goal of these proposed reforms is to improve vaccine access across care settings and provider types and, ultimately, increase adult vaccination rates. As payment reform potentially becomes increasingly relevant with the launch of new vaccine delivery methods, advancing certain reforms may require coordinating alignment across partner advocates and additional evidence generation to garner policymaker support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
