2010 Immunization Schedules
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.

2009 Immunization Schedules
Immunizations have succeeded in eradicating some very dangerous diseases, but it might be only a matter of short time before those disease are transferred back to us from a remote part of this world, unless we follow the immunization schedule recommended by the administration.

You can read about immunization schedules here for all ages. If you have missed some shots, CDC has a catch up schedule too!
