AAP, CDC release 2014 childhood, adolescent immunization schedule
The 2014 recommended childhood and adolescent immunization schedules have been approved by the AAP, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The 2014 Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, published online today in Pediatrics and on the CDC.gov/vaccines website, features a combined schedule with recommendations for children aged 0 to 18 years, a catch-up page and a two-page footnote section.
The updated schedule includes the same recommended vaccines as the 2013 schedule, but includes numerous changes to improve clarity and readability of the footnotes. Footnotes now contain generic and trade names of vaccines, influenza vaccination dosage for specific age groups, a list of characteristics that increase risk for hepatitis A and much more.
