1. Comments on priorities for the National Vaccine Plan for a ten-year period: What do you recommend be the top priorities for vaccines and the immunization enterprise in the United States and globally? Why are those priorities most important to you?

2. Comments on the goals, objectives, and strategies for the National Vaccine Plan for a ten-year period: Please comment on the existing goals, objectives, and strategies in the draft Plan, and suggest specific goals, objectives, or strategies to be added to it, if the existing ones do not address your concerns. Are there any goals, objectives or strategies in the draft strategic Plan that should be discarded or revised? Which ones, and why?

3. Comments on the indicators for the National Vaccine Plan for a ten-year period: Please comment on the existing indicators in the draft Plan, and suggest target estimates for them. Please suggest new indicators to be added to it, if the existing ones do not address your concerns. Are there any indicators in the draft strategic Plan that should be discarded or revised? Which ones, and why?

4. Comments on stakeholders' roles in the National Vaccine Plan: Please identify which stakeholders you believe should have responsibility for enacting the objectives and strategies listed in the draft Plan, as well as for any new objectives and strategies you suggest.
