Adolescent and Adult Pertussis Vaccination Primary objective – protect the vaccinated adolescent or adult Secondary objective – reduce reservoir of B. pertussis – potentially reduce incidence of pertussis in other age groups and settings
Recommendations for Tdap Vaccination of Adolescents Adolescents years of age should receive a single dose of Tdap instead of Td* Adolescents years who have not received Tdap should receive a single dose of Tdap as their catch-up booster instead of Td* *if the person has completed the recommended childhood DTaP/DTP vaccination series, and has not yet received a Td booster MMWR 2006;55(RR-3):1-43.
Healthcare personnel who work in hospitals or ambulatory care settings and have direct patient contact should receive a single dose of Tdap as soon as feasible Priority should be given to vaccination of healthcare personnel who have direct contact with infants 12 months of age and younger An interval as short as 2 years (or less) from the last dose of Td is recommended for the Tdap dose *if they have not previously received Tdap. MMWR 2006;55(RR-17):1-37. Tdap Vaccine and Healthcare Personnel
Use of Tdap Among Pregnant Women Td is generally preferred during pregnancy Women who have not received Tdap should receive a dose in the immediate post-partum period Any woman who might become pregnant is encouraged to receive a single dose of Tdap Clinician may choose to administer Tdap to a pregnant woman in certain circumstances (such as during a community pertussis outbreak) Pregnancy is not a contraindication for Tdap MMWR 2008;57 (No. RR-4)
Conditions NOT Precautions for Tdap Following a dose of DTaP/DTP: – temperature 105oF (40.5oC) or higher – collapse or shock-like state – persistent crying lasting 3 hours or longer – convulsions with or without fever – history of an extensive limb swelling reaction Stable neurologic disorder Pregnancy Breastfeeding Immunosuppression including HIV infection Concurrent minor illness Antimicrobial use

Composition of the Influenza Vaccine: WHO has recommended vaccine strains for the Northern Hemisphere trivalent influenza vaccine, and FDA has made the same recommendations for the U.S. influenza vaccine. Both agencies recommend that the vaccine contain A/California/7/2009-like (2009 H1N1), A/Perth/16/2009-like (H3N2), and B/Brisbane/60/2008-like (B/Victoria lineage) viruses. A seasonal influenza A (H1N1) component is not included in the formulation and the A (H3N2) component has been changed from the Northern Hemisphere vaccine formulation. This recommendation was based on surveillance data related to epidemiology and antigenic characteristics, serological responses to trivalent seasonal and 2009 H1N1 monovalent vaccines, and the availability of candidate strains and reagents.
Influenza Vaccines Inactivated subunit (TIV) – intramuscular – trivalent – contains egg protein Live attenuated vaccine (LAIV) – intranasal – trivalent – contains egg protein MMWR 2009;58 (RR-8)

Varicella Vaccine Recommendations Children Routine vaccination at months of age Routine second dose at 4-6 years of age Minimum interval between doses of varicella vaccine for children younger than 13 years of age is 3 months MMWR 2007; 56 (No. RR-4);1-40
Varicella Vaccine Recommendations Older Children and Adults 2 doses recommended for all persons older than 4 to 6 years who do not have evidence of varicella immunity Second dose recommended for persons of any age who have only received one dose
Varicella Vaccine Immunogenicity and Efficacy Detectable antibody – 97% of children 12 months-12 years following 1 dose – 99% of persons 13 years and older after 2 doses 70%-90% effective against any varicella disease 95%-100% effective against severe varicella disease
Varicella Breakthrough Infection Immunity appears to be long-lasting for most recipients Breakthrough disease much milder than in unvaccinated persons No consistent evidence that risk of breakthrough infection increases with time since vaccination
Varicella Immunity Written documentation of age-appropriate vaccination Laboratory evidence of immunity or laboratory confirmation of disease Born in the United States before 1980* Healthcare provider diagnosis or verification of varicella disease History of herpes zoster based on healthcare provider diagnosis *except healthcare personnel and pregnant women. MMWR 2007;56(No. RR-4)
Varicella Vaccine Postexposure Prophylaxis Varicella vaccine is recommended for use in persons without evidence of varicella immunity after exposure to varicella – 70%-100% effective if given within 72 hours of exposure – not effective if administered more than 5 days after exposure but will produce immunity if not infected
Varicella-Containing Vaccines Varicella vaccine (Varivax) – approved for persons 12 months and older Measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (ProQuad) – approved for children 12 months through 12 years Herpes zoster vaccine (Zostavax) – approved for persons 60 years and older
Herpes Zoster 500,000 to 1 million episodes occur annually in the United States Lifetime risk of zoster estimated to be at least 30% 50% of persons living until age 85 years will develop zoster
Herpes Zoster Vaccine Approved for a single dose among persons 60 years and older May vaccinate regardless of prior history of herpes zoster (shingles) Persons with a chronic medical condition may be vaccinated unless a contraindication or precaution exists for the condition
Herpes Zoster Vaccine Efficacy Compared to the placebo group the vaccine group had: – 51% fewer episodes of zoster – Lower efficacy for older recipients – Less severe disease – 66% less postherpetic neuralgia Duration of immunity unknown NEJM 2005;352(22):

"PCV13 will be replacing PCV7" February 25, 2010 — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted yesterday to recommend the use of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), which provides broader protection for young children against pneumococcal diseases.
PCV 13 Unvaccinated infants and children: PCV13 is recommended for all children aged 2 through 59 months. In the United States, infants receive a "3 plus 1" dosing schedule, with doses at 2, 4, and 6 months and a booster dose at 12 to 15 months. Older children will follow the schedule currently recommended for PCV7. Children incompletely vaccinated with PCV7: Children aged 24 to 59 months who received 1 or more doses of PCV7 should complete their vaccine series with PCV13. The age may be extended to 71 months for children with an underlying medical condition, such as sickle cell disease, HIV, or asplenia. Children completely vaccinated with PCV7: Those children 14 to 59 months of age who have received all 4 doses of PCV7 should receive a single supplemental dose of PCV13. The age may be extended to 71 months for children with an underlying medical condition.
Children at Increased Risk of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Functional or anatomic asplenia, especially sickle cell disease HIV infection Recipient of cochlear implant Out-of-home group child care African American children Alaska Native and American Indian children who live in Alaska, Arizona, or New Mexico Navaho children who live in Colorado and Utah
Conditions That Increase Risk for Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Decreased immune function Asplenia (functional or anatomic) Chronic heart, pulmonary, liver or renal disease Cigarette smoking Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak Cochlear implant

Risk Factors for Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD) Asthma has now been identified as an independent risk factor for invasive pneumococcal disease Adults with asthma had at least double the risk of IPD compared with adults of similar age without asthma N Engl J Med 2005; 352(20):
New Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV) Recommendation All adults 19 years of age and older with asthma regardless of severity Available data do not support asthma as an indication for PPSV among persons younger than 19 years
Cigarette Smoking and IPD Approximately half of adults 65 years of age or younger who develop severe pneumococcal disease are smokers Cigarette smoking is a strong risk factor for severe disease Many adults who smoke cigarettes also have another condition for which PPSV is already recommended Cigarette smoking is a risk behavior that is easy to identify among patients in clinical practice Smoking cessation should be part of the therapeutic plan regardless of immunization
New Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV) Recommendation All adults 19 years of age and older who smoke cigarettes Available data do not support smoking as an indication for PPSV among persons younger than 19 years
