POLICY STATEMENT

Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule—United States, 2006

Committee on Infectious Diseases

The annual recommended childhood and adolescent immunization schedule for January–December 2006 was approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians is issued for 2006. This schedule reflects current recommendations for use of US Food and Drug Administration–licensed vaccines. The 2006 schedule reflects the following major changes.

Clinically significant adverse events that follow immunization should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Guidance about how to obtain and complete a VAERS form can be obtained on the Internet at www.vaers.hhs.gov or by calling 800-822-7967. Information on new vaccine releases, vaccine supplies, and statements on specific vaccines can be found at www.aap.org and www.cdc.gov/nip. Vaccine-related updates are available online at www.aapredbook.org.
