The Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule United States, July—December 1996 was developed by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics in collaboration with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Since the Schedule was last published in January 1996, no new vaccines have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and as of May 15, 1996, no changes had been made in Academy recommendations.1 If additional changes are made before the next publication in the January 1997 issue of Pediatrics, the membership will be informed through other channels. For detailed information on the use of vaccines, providers should refer to the l994 Red Book: Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases,2 the ACIP General Recommendations on Immunization3 and the vaccine package inserts.

The complexity of our current schedule for routine immunization of children is expanding and experienced by both physician and parent. Over nearly two decades in the 1970s and 1980s only one new vaccine was added to the routine immunization for children. However, in the last few years since 1989, the schedule routinely recommended for children has been augmented by eight to ten new doses or vaccines. The confusion has been compounded by differences in the schedules developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases and that of the Centers for Disease Control Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

The Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule for 1995 was developed by the Committee on Infectious Diseases (COID) of the American Academy of Pediatrics in collaboration with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).1 Since the January 1995 publication, the AAP, ACIP, and AAFP have agreed on the following revisions: 1. The revised schedule is dated January-June 1996 and will be reprinted in July 1996 with any indicated changes. Incorporating dates in the chart will assure health care providers that they are using the most current schedule. 2. A column has been added to indicate that the second dose of hepatitis B vaccine can be administered at 1 month of age, provided that at least 1 month has elapsed since the first dose was given. Also, the doses of vaccine are provided in micrograms by individual product instead of volume, as several different concentrations of recombivax-HB (Merck, Sharp and Dohme) vaccine are available. 3. A bar has been added at 11-12 years of age to indicate that adolescents who have not previously received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine should initiate or complete the three-dose series. 4. Varicella zoster virus vaccine (Var) has been added to the schedule. In addition to the previously issued Academy recommendations, answers to commonly asked questions are addressed in a recent AAP News article.2,3 5. Information on inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (IPV) has been added to reflect the Academy's current policy.

The Us

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.

Child Visit

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recommended that the vaccines usually given at the 15- and 18-month visits could be given simultaneously at 15 months, thereby omitting the 18-month well-child visit. There is little doubt that measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) immunization, now recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics to be given at 15 months of age, and the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) and oral polio booster immunizations, now recommended to be given at 18 months of age, could be given together with no problem at 15 months. But this is not a good enough reason to abandon the 18-month well-child visit. Although I will not argue that we have solid evidence for the effectiveness of any well-child procedures other than immunizations, I believe that the 18-month visit is one of the more important ones and should not be discontinued for all children.
