The public and Congress should be outraged that a task force developing national strategy and interventions to be carried out by the states can work behind closed doors and is not subject to the protections in The Federal Advisory Committee Act, Appendix 2 of title 5, United States Code.




Appendix 2 of title 5, The Federal Advisory Committee Act, provides the safeguards so that federal government committees and task forces are kept to a minimum, requires that congress and the public be informed of what these committees are doing and their cost and states that the committees should be terminated when no longer needed.



Buried in the health care bill - HR 3590, on page 1146, is a short little section that says:

"providing for home visits that promote immunization through education, assessments of need, referrals, provision of immunizations, or other services; 'providing immunization reminders or recalls for target populations of clients, patients, and consumers'; ... to allow all States to have electronic databases for immunization records'.
