AbstractIn January 1995, the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule, developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), was published. This unified schedule represented the first such schedule developed through a collaborative process among the recommending groups, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, and the Food and Drug Administration. This process is intended to maintain a common childhood immunization schedule and to work toward further simplification of the schedule. The Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule--United States, January-June 1996 (Figure 1) has been updated by these groups to incorporate newly licensed and/or recommended vaccines and to clarify specific issues. Since publication of the schedule in 1995, Varicella Zoster Virus Vaccine (Var) has been licensed, and recommendations for adolescent hepatitis B vaccination have been developed. The following changes are incorporated into the Recommended Childhood Immunization Schedule.
