CDC's 2010 Immunization schedules are now available for all. The main changes are:

The last dose in the inactivated poliovirus vaccine series is now recommended to be administered on or after the 4th birthday and at least 6 months since the previous dose. In addition, if 4 doses are administered prior to age 4 years an additional (5th) dose should be administered at age 4 through 6 years.

The hepatitis A vaccination of children older than 23 months for whom immunity against hepatitis A is desired is allowed.

Revaccination with meningococcal conjugate vaccine is now recommended for children who remain at increased risk of meningococcal disease after 3 years (if the first dose was administered at age 2 through 6 years) or after 5 years (if the first dose was administered at age 7 years or older).

The bivalent HPV vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) is available and recommended, and administration of quadrivalent HPV vaccine to males aged 9 through 18 years to reduce the likelihood of acquiring genital warts, is permissively recommended.
