On December 2-3, 1966, I attended a Conference on Burns and Flame-Retardant Fabrics at the New York Academy of Medicine, to represent the American Academy of Pediatrics. The General Chairman of this conference was Dr. Paul Joliet, Chief, Division of Accident Prevention, United States Public Health Service with whose group we are in official liaison. Other sponsors were the American College of Surgeons, the New York and Brooklyn Trauma Committee, the National Fire Protection Association, the Section on Plastic Surgery of the New York Academy of Medicine, in cooperation with the National Safety Council, the American Public Health Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Primary Series

The Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics have not reached complete agreement in their currently recommended schedules for primary infant immunization with trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). To determine which if either of these is the more efficacious, 200 infants were immunized with trivalent OPV. Approximately 50% of these infants completed the 3 dose primary series recommended by the ACIP; remaining infants completed the 4 dose series recommended by the Academy. Microneutralization titers to all three poliovirus types were determined at appropriate time intervals. At the completion of the study, a satisfactory percentage of individuals in both groups exhibited microneutralization titers of 1:10 or greater to all three poliovirus types. During the course of study, minor differences were noted between the two groups in the percentage of individuals with titers against poliovirus types 1 and 3.

Pediatricians and other professionals providing care for children and adolescents refer to a variety of information sources for guidelines regarding optimal therapy on preventive care. In some instances, the guidelines from expert groups (including American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP] recommendations) may differ from material included in the manufacturer's package inserts, and the guidelines from different expert committees may be inconsistent on even conflicting. During recent months, the Committee on Infectious Diseases (COID) of the AAP has worked closely with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the US Public Health Service and the American Academy of Family Practice to unify the recommendations on the immunization schedule for infants and children.
