Title: Influenza Vaccination Standard for Certain Medicare Participating Providers and Suppliers (CMS-3213-P) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would require certain Medicare and Medicaid providers and suppliers to offer all patients an annual influenza vaccination, unless medically contraindicated or unless the patient or patient's representative or surrogate declined vaccination. This proposed rule is intended to increase the number of patients receiving annual vaccination against seasonal influenza and to decrease the morbidity and mortality rate from influenza. This proposed rule would also require certain providers and suppliers to develop policies and procedures that would allow them to offer vaccinations for pandemic influenza in case of a future pandemic influenza event for which a vaccine may be developed.
