Go to AAP Web Site for Menactra Letter
Published on Tue Jun 21, 2005
You can access the AAP's letter encouraging Menactra coverage and reimbursement from the AAP's Web site.
The July 2005 Pediatric Coding Alert listed an incorrect link for the document "meaning_conjugate_vacine_11.pdf." American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) members can locate the letter by going to www.aap.org/moc. Look for the Menactra coverage letter under the "Private Sector Advocacy" link on the main page.
