Abstract
The need for a single childhood immunization schedule prompted the unification of previous vaccine recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). In addition to presenting the newly recommended schedule for the administration of childhood vaccines, this article addresses the previous differences between the AAP and ACIP schedules, and provides the rationale for changing previous recommendations.
