ACIP Recommendations 2014-15 Influenza Season For 2014 15, U.S.-licensed influenza vaccines will contain the same vaccine virus strains as those in the 2013 14 vaccine. All persons aged 6 months should receive influenza vaccine annually. When immediately available, LAIV should be used for healthy children aged 2 through 8 years who have no contraindications or precautions. If LAIV is not immediately available, IIV should be used. Persons who care for severely immunosuppressed persons who require a protective environment should not receive LAIV, or should avoid contact with such persons for 7 days after receipt, given the theoretical risk for transmission of the live attenuated vaccine virus. Persons who report having had reactions to egg involving such symptoms as angioedema, respiratory distress, lightheadedness, or recurrent emesis; or who required epinephrine or another emergency medical intervention, may receive RIV3 if they are aged 18 through 49 years and there are no other contraindications.

Pneumococcal Vaccines Pneumovax 23 (PPSV23, pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine) Prevnar 13 (PCV13, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine)
ACIP Recommendations on Pneumococcal Vaccinations in Adults
ACIP Recommendations on Pneumococcal Vaccinations in Adults Both PCV13 and PPSV23 should be administered routinely in series to all adults aged 65 years. Pneumococcal vaccine-naïve persons. Adults aged 65 years who have not previously received pneumococcal vaccine or whose previous vaccination history is unknown should receive a dose of PCV13 first, followed by a dose of PPSV23. The dose of PPSV23 should be given 6 12 months after a dose of PCV13. If PPSV23 cannot be given during this time window, the dose of PPSV23 should be given during the next visit. The two vaccines should not be coadministered, and the minimum acceptable interval between PCV13 and PPSV23 is 8 weeks. MMWR September 19, 2014 / 63 (37)
ACIP Recommendations on Pneumococcal Vaccinations in Adults Previous vaccination with PPSV23. Adults aged 65 years who have previously received 1 doses of PPSV23 also should receive a dose of PCV13 if they have not yet received it. A dose of PCV13 should be given 1 year after receipt of the most recent PPSV23 dose. For those for whom an additional dose of PPSV23 is indicated, this subsequent PPSV23 dose should be given 6 12 months after PCV13 and 5 years after the most recent dose of PPSV23. The recommendations for routine PCV13 use among adults aged 65 years will be reevaluated in 2018 and revised as needed. ACIP recommendations for routine use of PCV13 in adults aged 19 years with immunocompromising conditions, functional or anatomic asplenia, cerebrospinal fluid leak, or cochlear implants remain unchanged. MMWR September 19, 2014 / 63 (37)
Pneumococcal vaccine-naïve persons aged > 65 years *minimum interval between sequential administration of PCV13 and PPSV23 is 8 weeks; PPSV23 can be given later than 6-12 months after PCV13 if this window is missed.
Persons who previously received PPSV23 at age > 65 years *minimum interval between sequential administration of PCV13 and PPSV23 is 8 weeks; PPSV23 can be given later than 6-12 months after PCV13 if this window is missed.

ZOSTAVAX (Zoster Vaccine Live) 51
Zoster Vaccine Indication ACIP recommends routine vaccination of all persons aged >60 years with 1 dose of zoster vaccine. NEW FDA LABELING: ZOSTAVAX is a live attenuated virus vaccine indicated for prevention of herpes zoster (shingles) in individuals 50 years of age and older. Persons who report a previous episode of zoster and persons with chronic medical conditions can be vaccinated unless those conditions are contraindications or precautions. Zoster vaccination is not indicated to treat acute zoster. Zostavax [package insert]. Whitehouse Station, NJ: Merck; April 2011.
