Bill overview
The Maternal Immunization Enhancement Act aims to increase vaccination rates among pregnant women enrolled in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It directs the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide states with best practices for increasing vaccination rates, particularly for recommended vaccines like the flu and pertussis vaccine. The bill also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to include a measure tracking prenatal immunization status in quality measures for both children and adults enrolled in Medicaid, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report on vaccination rates, identifying barriers and demographic trends.
