CHICAGO - The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued the recommended 2008 childhood immunization schedule for the United States. The statement was approved by the AAP, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

The 2008 schedule includes the following major changes:

  • Oral rotavirus vaccine for universal administration to all infants at 2, 4, and 6 months of age.
  • Universal administration of a second dose of varicella vaccine at 4 to 6 years of age.
  • The age range for universal annual administration of influenza vaccine has been expanded to children 6 to 59 months of age and those in close contact with children 0 to 59 months of age.
  • Human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) for girls 11 to 12 years of age, including catch-up immunization of girls 13 to 18 years of age. This vaccine prevents most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts.
