Updated Pediatric Immunization Schedules

The CDC recently revised its suggested immunization schedules for children aged ≤18 years, based on recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians. The schedule changes involve immunizations against rotavirus, influenza, tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and human papillomavirus.
