Zimmerman RK, Burns IT Department of Family Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania 15261, USA. zimmer+@... In 1996, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Medical Association recommended a well-child office visit at age 11 to 12 years to check vaccination status. Vaccination status should be assessed for varicella, hepatitis B, the second dose of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, and tetanus-diptheria (Td) toxoid if not given in the past 5 years. Adolescent patients should be screened for high-risk conditions indicating the need for influenza, pneumococcal, or hepatitis A vaccines. The Accelerated Immunization Schedule and Minimal Interval Table should be consulted for children who are behind schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Sometimes I lose hope as it seems as soon as they are deciding some vaxxes aren't as safe as they declare them to be, they decide to lump 'em together or create new ones...but then I think more parents and doctors are becoming aware and demanding choices(which is what it should be) and the holistic alternatives are having more sway. Also, the docs are now realizing that their patients want alternatives, such as vitamins, and maybe when studying nutrition, they'll realize how inane vaxxes are(that's how my DH became enlightened)... I am not a medical doctor, nor do I portray one on t.v.! (But my husband,Mike,is!!!)
