Description:"To protect all Americans during an influenza pandemic, it is estimated that thousands of healthcare providers would need to administer 600 million vaccinations to 300 million patients. Such a campaign would require extensive tracking of patients and vaccine doses to monitor coverage and readiness. Countermeasure and response administration (CRA) systems track countermeasures and patients that receive them during a public health event. Recently, the focus on CRA has been on its role in the “seamless preparedness network” needed for influenza pandemic preparation and response. However, CRA is important in preparing for and responding to all disasters and outbreaks requiring detailed monitoring of patients and countermeasures. This issue brief describes how State Public Health Agencies are achieving CRA capacity and the role of CRA in pandemic influenza preparation and response. " - p. 1
