Atkinson, MD1 1National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases 2Texas A&M Health Science Center, College Station, Texas Summary This report is a revision of the General Recommendations on Immunization and updates the 2006 statement by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) (CDC. General recommendations on immunization: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP]. MMWR 2006;55[No. RR-15]). The report also includes revised content from previ- ous ACIP recommendations on the following topics: adult vaccination (CDC. Update on adult immunization recommendations of the immunization practices Advisory Committee [ACIP]. MMWR 1991;40[No. RR-12]); the assessment and feedback strategy to increase vaccination rates (CDC. Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices: programmatic strategies to increase vaccination rates—assessment and feedback of provider-based vaccination coverage information. MMWR 1996;45:219–20); linkage of vaccination services and those of the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC program) (CDC. Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices: programmatic strategies to increase vaccination coverage by age 2 years—linkage of vaccination and WIC services. MMWR 1996;45:217–8); adolescent immunization (CDC. Immunization of adolescents: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American Medical Association.

Combination vaccines for childhood immunization: recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP], the American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], and the American Academy of Family Physicians [AAFP]. MMWR 1999;48[No. RR-5]). Notable revisions to the 2006 recommendations include 1) revisions to the tables of contraindications and precautions to vaccination, as well as a separate table of conditions that are commonly misperceived as contraindications and precautions; 2) reordering of the report content, with vaccine risk-benefit screening, managing adverse reactions, reporting of adverse events, and the vaccine injury compensation program presented immediately after the discussion of contraindications and precautions; 3) stricter criteria for selecting an appropriate storage unit for vaccines; 4) additional guidance for maintaining

  • (ACIP) General Best Guidance for Immunization
    8. Altered Immunocompetence Updates This section incorporates general content from the Infectious Diseases Society of America policy statement, 2013 IDSA Clinical Practice Guideline for Vaccination of the Immunocompromised Host (1), to which CDC provided input in November 2011. The evidence supporting this guidance is based on expert opinion and arrived at by consensus. General Principles Altered immunocompetence, a term often used synonymously with immunosuppression, immunodeficiency, and immunocompromise, can be classified as primary or secondary. Primary immunodeficiencies generally are inherited and include conditions defined by an inherent absence or quantitative deficiency of cellular, humoral, or both components that provide immunity. Examples include congenital immunodeficiency diseases such as X- linked agammaglobulinemia, SCID, and chronic granulomatous disease. Secondary immunodeficiency is acquired and is defined by loss or qualitative deficiency in cellular or humoral immune components that occurs as a result of a disease process or its therapy. Examples of secondary immunodeficiency include HIV infection, hematopoietic malignancies, treatment with radiation, and treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. The degree to which immunosuppressive drugs cause clinically significant immunodeficiency generally is dose related and varies by drug. Primary and secondary immunodeficiencies might include a combination of deficits in both cellular and humoral immunity. Certain conditions like asplenia and chronic renal disease also can cause altered immunocompetence. Determination of altered immunocompetence is important to the vaccine provider because incidence or severity of some vaccine-preventable diseases is higher in persons with altered immunocompetence; therefore, certain vaccines (e.g., inactivated influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccines) are recommended specifically for persons with these diseases (2,3). Administration of live vaccines might need to be deferred until immune function has improved.

Abstract: Primary antibody deficiencies (PADs) are the most common primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). They can be divided into the following groups, depending on their immunological features: agammaglobulinemia; common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) isotype; hyper IgM isotype; light chain or functional deficiencies with normal B cell count; specific antibody deficiency with normal Ig concentrations and normal numbers of B cells and transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy. The role of vaccination in PADs is recognized as therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic and may be used in patients with residual B-cell function to provide humoral immunity to specific infective agents. According to their content and mechanisms, vaccines are grouped as live attenuated, inactivated (conjugated, polysaccharide), mRNA or replication-deficient vector vaccines. Vaccination may be unsafe or less effective when using certain vaccines and in specific types of immunodeficiency. Inactivated vaccines can be administered in PAD patients even if they could not generate a protective Citation: Milito, C.; Soccodato, V.; response; live attenuated vaccines are not recommended in major antibody deficiencies.

  • TYPHOID VACCINE 20, Avenue Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27 Switzerland S & Health Product April 2014
    INFORMATION SHEET OBSERVED RATE OF VACCINE REACTIONS Global Vaccine Safety Essential Medicines & Health Products TYPHOID VACCINE 20, Avenue Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27 Switzerland s & Health Product April 2014 20, avenue Appia, Ch-1211 Geneva 27 The Vaccines Several typhoid vaccines are currently available and these can be administered orally or parenterally and are safe and efficacious for preventing typhoid fever (Fraser et al, 2007, see Table 1). Adverse events are mild in nature. Oral vaccine Live attenuated vaccine: (Ty21a) (Vivotif TM, Berna Biotech, Crucell; Zerotyph caps, Boryung). This vaccine was developed in the early 1970s, requires at least three doses for optimal protection, and is supplied as gelatin capsules coated with phthalate or sachets containing lyophilised Ty21a, a mutant strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi). Parenteral vaccines Monovalent typhoid vaccines: Vi polysaccharide is a well-standardized antigen that is effective in a single parenteral dose, is safer than whole-cell vaccine, and may be used in children 2 years of age or older (Plotkin and Bouveret-LeCam, 1995). The following vaccines contain the Vi antigen. Capsular polysaccharide vaccines: (ViCPS) (TypherixTM, GSK; Typhim ViTM, Sanofi Pasteur; TypBar, Bharat Biotech; Shantyph, Shanta Biotech; Typho-Vi, BioMed; Zerotyph inj, Boryung, South Korea; Typhevac-inj, Shanghai Institute of Biological Products) is a one-dose injectable solution consisting 25 µg Vi antigen prepared from the surface polysaccharide of S. Typhi strain Ty2. Conjugate vaccine: (Vi-TT), where the Vi antigen is coupled to a carrier protein. At the time of review there is only one licensed conjugate vaccine (Peda-typhTM, BioMed). It consists of Vi coupled to tetanus toxoid (TT).
