CDC Merges Child, Teen Immunization Schedules for 2013

Perhaps one of the more immediately noticeable changes to the 2013 immunization schedules is that the CDC has pared down the total number of schedules released by combining the previously separate child and adolescent schedules into a single 0- to 18-year schedule. Overall, the new childhood and adult schedules contain more than a dozen changes, but they should be a bit easier to follow than before, said Jamie Loehr, M.D., of Ithaca, N.Y., the AAFP's liaison to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
