MMR Recommendations during Outbreak
MMR Doses by Week 5000 4500 4000 3500 MMR Doses 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Week 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 *Data from MIIC updated weekday mornings
Influenza Mid-season Vaccine Effectiveness (VE) Overall: 48% (CI 37-57%) Influenza A H3N2 43% (CI 29-54%) VE Influenza B 73% (54-84%) VE VE varies by age group ACIP and CDC continue to explore why VE is lower for H3N2 comparatively MMWR 2017 (RR-6);66:167 171.
ACIP Discussion of LAIV Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) should not be used in the 2016-2017 influenza season Continue to investigate VE issues with the H1N1 strain Thermostability Serologic studies Challenge: getting enough data to look at VE ACIP has no current plans to recommend LAIV in upcoming (2017-18) season Discussion of data compelling enough in place of VE Most recent coverage estimates for children are at approximately 50% December 2016 Not lower than previous seasons https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2017-02/influenza-04-bright-mallory.pdf
Egg allergy and Influenza Vaccine Residual egg protein in flu vaccine is not likely to induce an allergic reaction, even in severely allergic people The amount of egg protein is actually undetectable (less than 0.5 g) and it is thought that at least 130 g is needed for a reaction to occur Anaphylaxis can occur with any vaccine, to any component Data is reassuring and compelling 2700 published studies involving more than 4100 allergic subjects, including known anaphylaxis to egg ingestion Received influenza vaccination without serious reactions, including respiratory distress or hypotension Minor reactions such as hives, mild wheezing, but seen equally among non-egg allergic controls MMWR 2016;65(RR-5): 29-30
Vaccinating Egg Allergic Patients Risk of anaphylaxis due to egg allergy small compared to risk of hospitalization and death due to influenza People experiencing reactions to egg of any severity (hives to angioedema) may receive any licensed and recommended influenza vaccine (i.e. IIV, RIV) that is otherwise appropriate for the recipient s age and health status. Vaccine administration should be supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic conditions. A previous severe allergic reaction to influenza vaccine, regardless of the component suspected of being responsible for the reaction, is a contraindication to future receipt of the vaccine. MMWR 2016;65(RR-5): 29-30
Hepatitis B Strengthening the safety net: Monovalent Hepatitis B vaccine should be administered within 24hof birth for medically stable infants weighing 2000 g born to HBsAg-negative mothers. Preterm infants weighing <2000 g born to HBsAg-negative mothers should receive the first dose of vaccine 1 month after birth of at hospital discharge. A new statement will be published to incorporate recommendations for specific populations and permissive language will be removed. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2016-10/hepatitis-02-schillie-october-2016.pdf
Meningococcal Vaccines HIV infection was added as a risk indication for MenACWY (MCV4) vaccination. 2 months and older Dosing is dependent on series initiation and vaccine type, check the schedule footnotes Revaccinate every 5 years Meningococcal B: High risk indication for 10 and older and permissive recommendations for 16-23 years MenB: MenB-FHbp (Trumenba) Now licensed for a 2-dose series in persons without a risk indication 3-dose for persons with risk indications (includes outbreak situation) https://www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/ed/pickup/ciinc/2017/CIINC_3_29_2017.pdf

Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) For persons aged 7 through 10 years who receive a dose of Tdap as part of the catch-up series, an adolescent Tdap vaccine dose may be given at age 11 through 12 years In line with guidance of children for which Tdap is inadvertently administered https://www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/ed/pickup/ciinc/2017/CIINC_3_29_2017.pdf
Tdap Vaccination in Pregnancy Maternal vaccination strategy is very promising! Data presented to ACIP show 78-91% efficacy Large study recently published: 90%+ in first 2 months of life (Baxter et al, 2017) Tdap should be given in the earlier part of the 27-36 weeks gestation period for vaccination of pregnant women. Evidence suggests that this timeframe allows for greater maternal pertussis antibody transfer. Data presented that show higher serological biomarkers in infant cord-blood May suggest longer exposure may be more important than peak transfer Safety data continue to be reassuring, including for repeated doses https://www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/ed/pickup/ciinc/2017/CIINC_3_29_2017.pdf and https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2016-10/pertussis-02-liang.pdf
Polio MMWRs published 1/13/17 and 2/17/17 provide additional guidance regarding assessment of poliovirus vaccination status and vaccination of children who have received poliovirus vaccine outside the U.S. If both OPV and IPV were administered as part of a series, the total number of doses needed to complete the series is the same as that recommended for the U.S. IPV schedule. A minimum interval of 4 weeks should separate doses in the series, with the final dose administered on or after the fourth birthday and at least 6 months after the previous dose. If only OPV was administered, and all doses were given before age 4 years, 1 dose of IPV should be given at 4 years or older and at least 6 months after the last OPV dose. Only trivalent OPV (tOPV) counts toward the U.S. vaccination requirements https://www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/ed/pickup/ciinc/2017/CIINC_3_29_2017.pdf
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Recommendation for 2 Doses First recommended for girls 11-12 years in 2006 Routinely recommended for boys 11-12 years in 2011 9 valent vaccine licensed in 2015 Move from 3 to 2 doses: Immunogenicity Post-hoc analysis of efficacy trials Post licensure effectiveness Health economic models Duration of protection
HPV Vaccine: Basics 9vHPV vaccine was approved for a 2-dose series (0, 6 months). 2 doses now recommended for: - Healthy adolescents beginning the series before 15th birthday - Adolescents who have begun series but not completed three doses: - Series was started before age 15 and doses were at least 5 months apart 3 doses recommended for: - Adolescents/young adults beginning the series after 15th birthday - Adolescents with an immunocompromising condition Any combination of 2vHPV, 4vHPV, or 9vHPV is acceptable for both the 2-dose and 3-dose series. 20
Update: ACIP Recommends 2 HPV Doses for Younger Adolescents 9-14 Years of Age at First Dose Previous Doses None Doses Needed 2 doses (interval: 0,6-12 months) 1 dose 1 dose (6-12 months after first dose) 1 dose (12 weeks after the second dose, and at least 5 months after the first dose) 0 doses (Series complete!) 2 doses given less than 5 months apart 2 doses given 5 or more months apart *If the patient is immunocompromised, give 3 doses at 0, 1-2, and 6 months Note: Any combination of 2vHPV, 4vHPV, and 9vHPV vaccine products spaced at the recommended intervals is acceptable
3 Doses of HPV Recommended for Adolescents 15 years and older 15 Years or Older at First Dose Previous Doses Doses Needed 3 doses None (0, 1-2, 6 months) 2 doses 1 dose (At 1-2, and 6 month intervals from first dose) 2 doses given 4 or more weeks apart 1 dose (12 weeks after second dose, and at least 5 months after first dose)
