Prevention and Control of Influenza with Vaccines: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), 2011 - 08/18/11MMWR
PDF
08-2011
New
This year's flu vaccine recommendations from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Advisory Practices (ACIP) calls again for everyone except infants under 6 months old to be immunized. One change in this year's recommendations is that children aged 6 months to 8 years who received only one dose last season need only one more dose this season. The recommendations provide more in-depth guidance for people who have egg allergies. Two of the newest flu vaccines made by Sanofi are indicated for ages 18 to 64 (TIV), and people age 65 or older (high-dose TIV).
Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Health-Care Personnel --- United States, 2010--11 Influenza Season - 08/19/11MMWR
08-2011
New
Flu immunization in healthcare workers has improved slightly. Of the surveyed healthcare workers, 63.5% reported that they received the flu vaccine during the 2010-11 season, an increase from 61.9% the previous season. Workers who had direct contact with patients, such as physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants were more likely to be vaccinated. Coverage was high (98.1%) in facilities with mandatory vaccine requirements. Those who weren't required to be vaccination reported they were more likely to be immunized if it was offered free on site and for an extended length of time.
