This Act may be cited as the ''No Child Left Unimmunized Against
Influenza Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds as follows:
(1) The influenza is a contagious respiratory illness
caused by influenza viruses. The best way to prevent the
influenza is by getting a influenza vaccination each year.
(2) Every year in the United States, on average, more than
200,000 people are hospitalized from influenza-related
complications, and about 36,000 people die from influenza-
related causes.
(3) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends routine
influenza vaccination for all children aged 6 months through 18
years with influenza vaccine, effective July 1, 2008.
(4) Children 2 to 17 years of age are twice as likely to
get influenza as adults, including the elderly.
(5) School-aged children are the population group most
responsible for transmission of contagious respiratory viruses,
including influenza.
(6) The elderly and young children are the most vulnerable
population to severe illness from influenza due to weaker
immune response to vaccination. Experts have recognized that
the best way to protect the elderly from influenza may be to
vaccinate children.
(7) School-based vaccination programs are effective and
cost-saving ways to vaccinate children while reducing
transmission and infection rates to the larger community and at
the same time reducing rates of school absenteeism due to
influenza.
(8) Increased focus on providing influenza vaccine to
children targeted for immunization will also help efforts to
build a sound foundation for future vaccination efforts.
(9) School-based vaccination programs also potentially
represent the most feasible mechanism for community-based
pandemic vaccination.
(10) Increased participation in annual influenza
vaccination programs builds the infrastructure necessary for
pandemic vaccination.
(11) School-based programs will investigate the feasibility
of conducting mass immunization clinics and build partnerships
with local public health teams, in the event of a public health
emergency.

SEC. 3. DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM USING ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS AS
INFLUENZA VACCINATION CENTERS.

(a) In General.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in
consultation with the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of
Labor, shall carry out a multistate demonstration program designed to
test the feasibility of using the Nation's elementary schools and
secondary schools as influenza vaccination centers in coordination with
school nurses, school health care programs, local health departments,
community health care providers, State insurance agencies, and private
insurers.
(b) Program Description.--
(1) Vaccination.--
(A) Children covered by other federal programs.--
For children who are eligible under other federally
funded programs for payment of the costs of purchasing
and administering the influenza vaccine, the Secretary
shall not use the demonstration program under this
section to supplant payment of such costs.
(B) Children covered by private health insurance.--
For children who have private insurance, the Secretary
shall work with the Secretary of Labor, State insurance
agencies, and private insurers to ensure that such
children have coverage for all reasonable and customary
expenses, including the costs of purchasing and
administering the vaccine, incurred when influenza
vaccine is administered outside of the physician's
office in a school or other related setting.
(C) Other children.--To the extent to which payment
of the costs of purchasing and administering the
influenza vaccine for children is not covered through
other federally funded programs or through private
insurance, the Secretary may pay such costs through the
demonstration program under this section.
(2) ACIP recommendations.--The demonstration program shall
be designed to administer vaccines consistent with the
recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices for the annual vaccination of all children aged 5
years through 19 years.
(3) Locations.--
(A) Selection.--The Secretary, in consultation with
the Secretary of Education, shall select the elementary
schools and secondary schools to participate in the
demonstration program.
(B) Selection criteria.--The schools selected under
subparagraph (A) shall include elementary schools and
secondary schools--
(i) located in at least 10 metropolitan
regions in at least 10 States and serving
primarily low-income public school student
populations; and
(ii) located in at least 5 major areas in
at least 5 States served by rural school
districts.
(4) Voluntary participation.--Participation in the
demonstration program by a school or an individual shall be
voluntary.
(5) Duration.--The demonstration program shall be conducted
for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 influenza seasons.
(6) Choice of vaccine.--The demonstration program shall not
restrict the discretion of a health care provider to administer
any influenza vaccine approved by the Food and Drug
Administration for use in pediatric populations.
(c) Report.--Not later than 90 days following the completion of the
demonstration program under this section, the Secretary shall submit to
the Committees on Education and Labor, Energy and Commerce, and
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and to the Committees on
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and Appropriations of the Senate
a report on the results of the program. The report shall include--
(1) an assessment of the influenza vaccination rates of
school-aged children in localities where the demonstration
program is implemented, compared to the national average
influenza vaccination rates for school-aged children, including
whether school-based vaccination assists in achieving the
recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices for annual influenza vaccination of all children aged
6 months to 18 years;
(2) an assessment of the utility of employing elementary
schools and secondary schools as a part of a multi-state,
community-based pandemic response program that is consistent
with existing Federal and State pandemic response plans;
(3) an assessment of the feasibility of using existing
Federal and private insurance funding in establishing a multi-
state, school-based vaccination program for seasonal influenza
vaccination;
(4) an assessment of the number of education days gained by
students as a result of seasonal vaccinations based on
absenteeism rates;
(5) a determination of whether the demonstration program
under this section--
(A) was successful; and
(B) was implemented for sufficient time for
gathering enough valid data; and
(6) a recommendation on whether the demonstration program
under this section should be continued, expanded, or
terminated.
(d) Definitions.--In this section:

school'' have the meanings given such terms in section 9101 of
