virus strains as those in the 2013–14 vaccine.
All persons aged ≥6 months should receive influenza vaccine annually.
When immediately available, LAIV should be used for healthy children
aged 2 through 8 years who have no contraindications or precautions . If
LAIV is not immediately available, IIV should be used.
Persons who care for severely immunosuppressed persons who require a
protective environment should not receive LAIV, or should avoid contact
with such persons for 7 days after receipt, given the theoretical risk for
transmission of the live attenuated vaccine virus.
Persons who report having had reactions to egg involving such symptoms
as angioedema, respiratory distress, lightheadedness, or recurrent emesis;
or who required epinephrine or another emergency medical intervention,
may receive RIV3 if they are aged 18 through 49 years and there are no
other contraindications.

vaccine)
ACIP Recommendations on
Pneumococcal Vaccinations in Adults
Pneumococcal vaccine-naïve persons aged > 65 years
*minimum interval between sequential administration of PCV13 and PPSV23 is 8 weeks;
PPSV23 can be given later than 6-12 months after PCV13 if this window is missed.
Persons who previously received PPSV23 at age > 65 years
*minimum interval between sequential administration of PCV13 and PPSV23 is 8 weeks;
PPSV23 can be given later than 6-12 months after PCV13 if this window is missed.
Persons who previously received PPSV23 before
age 65 years who are now aged > 65 years
Rationale & Design of CAPITA:
Community Acquired Pneumonia Immunization Trail in Adults
 Primary Clinical Objective: establish the efficacy of
PCV13 vaccine in the prevention of a first episode of
pneumococcal CAP in community dwelling adults > 65
years.
 Methods: Randomized, placebo controlled trial with
approximately 85,000 subjects.
 Notable Exclusion Criteria:
 Previous vaccination with any pneumococcal vaccine
 Residence in long-term care facility
 Immunodeficiency

 All adults born in 1957 or later should have documentation
of 1 or more doses of MMR vaccine unless they have a
medical contraindication to the vaccine, laboratory
evidence of immunity to each of the three diseases, or
documentation of provider-diagnosed measles or mumps
disease.
 A routine second dose of MMR vaccine, administered a
minimum of 28 days after the first dose, is recommended
for adults who
 are students in postsecondary educational institutions;
 work in a health-care facility; or
 plan to travel internationally.
MMR Vaccine Contraindications
 AIDS or other clinical manifestations of HIV,
including persons with CD4+ T-lymphocyte values
<200 per mm3
 Malignant neoplasms affecting the bone marrow
 Chemotherapy or radiation within the last 3 months
 Persons on immunosuppressive therapy, including
high-dose corticosteroids (>20 mg/day of prednisone

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
 Two vaccines are licensed for use in females, bivalent HPV
vaccine (HPV2 – types 16,18) and quadrivalent HPV vaccine
(HPV9 – types 6,11,16,18,31,33,45,52,58).
 Only one HPV vaccine is licensed for use in males (HPV9).
 For females, either HPV9 or HPV2 is recommended in a 3dose series for routine vaccination at 9 to 12 years of age,
and for those 13 through 26 years of age, if not previously
vaccinated.
 For males, HPV9 is recommended in a 3-dose series for
routine vaccination at 9 to 12 years of age, and for those 13
through 15 years of age, if not previously vaccinated.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination
 HPV vaccines are not live vaccines and can be
administered to persons who are immunocompromised as a result of infection (including HIV
infection), disease, or medications.
 HPV vaccine can be administered to persons with a
history of genital warts, abnormal Papanicolaou test,
or positive HPV DNA test.

 Persons who report a previous episode of zoster and persons
with chronic medical conditions can be vaccinated unless
those conditions are contraindications or precautions.
 Zoster vaccination is not indicated to treat acute zoster.

aIn the Shingles Prevention Study, efficacy was evaluated in a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of ZOSTAVAX.
38,546 subjects 60 years of age or older were randomized to receive a single dose of either ZOSTAVAX (n=19,270) or placebo
(n=19,276) and were monitored for the development of zoster for a median of 3.1 years (range, 31 days to 4.90 years).

Overall
The benefit of ZOSTAVAX in the prevention of PHN can be primarily
attributed to the effect of the vaccine on the prevention of herpes zoster.
HZ=herpes zoster; PHN=postherpetic neuralgia.
aPHN was defined as herpes zoster-associated pain rated as ≥3 on a 10-point scale and occurring or persisting at least 90 days after

for ZEST: In the ZOSTAVAX Efficacy and Safety Trial, efficacy was evaluated in a placebocontrolled, double-blind study of ZOSTAVAX. 22,439 subjects 50 to 59 years of age were randomized to receive
a single dose of either ZOSTAVAX (n=11,211) or placebo (n=11,228) and were monitored for the occurrence of
shingles for a median of 1.3 years postvaccination (range, 0 to 2 years).
