CDC updates: |

The CDC posted an updated interim PCV VIS on 12/9/08. The main reason is to incorporate recent changes in recommendations for 2-4 year olds, but there are other changes throughout as well. There are no changes in contraindications or adverse events, but to prevent parents from getting confused about the differences in indications (especially when the vaccine is administered to 2-4 year olds) it would be best for providers to start using the new version right away. Existing stocks CAN still be used temporarily if immediately switching to the new version is a problem. |

PPSV23 minor change.
The paragraph on pregnancy under Section 5 of the PPSV VIS has
received a minor update. In the previous edition the term "is not
recommended" was used in a way that could be misinterpreted to
mean "should never be given." In fact, while PPSV is not routinely
recommended for pregnant women it may be given under some
circumstances. The previous edition may be used until stocks are
depleted. (10/6/09) |
