|

|
|
|
| This report updates 2009 recommendations by CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding the use of influenza vaccine for the prevention and control of influenza. Highlights of the 2010 recommendations include 1) a recommendation that annual vaccination be administered to all persons aged ≥6 months for the 2010–11 influenza season; 2) a
recommendation that children aged 6 months–8 years whose vaccination status is unknown or who have never received seasonal influenza vaccine before (or who received seasonal vaccine for the first time in 2009–10 but received only 1 dose in their first year of vaccination) as well as children who did not receive at least 1 dose of an influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine regardless of previous influenza vaccine history should receive 2 doses of a 2010–11 seasonal influenza
vaccine (minimum interval: 4 weeks) during the 2010–11 season; 3) a recommendation that vaccines containing the 2010–11 trivalent vaccine virus strains A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like (the same strain as was used for 2009 H1N1 monovalent vaccines), A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like, and B/Brisbane/60/2008-like antigens be used; 4) information about Fluzone High-Dose, a newly approved vaccine for persons aged ≥65 years; and 5) information about other standard-dose newly approved
influenza vaccines and previously approved vaccines with expanded age indications. Vaccination efforts should begin as soon as the 2010–11 seasonal influenza vaccine is available and continue through the influenza season.
