Needle Tips was the flagship publication of the Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) from 1994 through 2017.
From 1994 through 2009, it was printed and mailed semiannually to healthcare professionals who provided immunization services to children, teens, and adults. From 2010 through 2017, it was published quarterly but online only.
Needle Tips contained practical information and guidance about the use of vaccines based on recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Each issue of Needle Tips featured “Ask the
Experts,” where challenging questions about
vaccines, their administration, storage and
handling, and use, were answered by CDC
vaccine experts in collaboration with IAC
staff. The publication also featured a
wealth of additional materials including
ready-to-copy immunization educational
materials to give to clinic staff or to hand
out to patients.
Needle Tips ceased
publication in 2017 due to the rapidly
occurring changes in immunization and the
need for more frequent updates. The content
was shifted entirely to IAC’s weekly
email news service,
IAC Express.
