FOCUS POINT: Prioritization in the Health Care and Community Support Services (HC/CSS) Group
Participants in this part of the dialogue will discuss the prioritization proposed for the HC/CSS Group in the Draft Guidance. Participants are requested to review the Draft Guidance document at this website, and in particular Table 1 (Categories and target groups) of the Draft Guidance.
Key Reference Documents. Keep these handy - you'll need them to understand the discussion:
Facts and Assumptions about the Next Influenza Pandemic

Quick reference: Target groups, tiers for severe pandemic & public values on the goals
http://www.webdialogues.net/cs/panflu-engage-library/download/dlib/...
Desired outcomes:
Clear understanding of the various concerns that are raised by participants about the way that the implementation of the Draft Guidance would affect us all in the face of pandemic influenza.
Identification of priorities that have not been recognized in the Draft Guidance or of items that need different prioritization, so that public health authorities can consider modifying the Draft Guidance.
Identification of perplexing issues about vaccine prioritization that the WebDialogue team can consider including in the opinion poll on Thursday morning.
