Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition Applauds Expanded Influenza Vaccine Recommendation For Children
The National Foundation for Infectious
Diseases' Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition (CIIC) is pleased to
support today's vote by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's
(CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to expand the
influenza vaccine recommendation for children 6 months up to 18 years of
age. This recommendation is to be implemented as soon as feasible and no
later than the 2009/10 influenza season.
"Each season many children remain vulnerable to the consequences of not
being vaccinated against influenza," said Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H.,
FACS, CIIC Chair, 17th Surgeon General of the United States (2002-2006),
President of Canyon Ranch Institute and Distinguished Professor of Public
Health, The University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public
Health. "We hope this expanded vaccination recommendation will strongly
encourage Americans to get an annual influenza vaccination as soon as
vaccine becomes available in their communities. This will help in reducing
the number of childhood hospitalizations and deaths from influenza each
season."
Influenza is a serious and potentially deadly disease that spreads very
easily. Anyone can get influenza, but rates of infection are highest among
children. Currently, the recommendation calls for annual vaccination of
children 6 months up to 5 years of age. Vaccination is especially
beneficial to both children and adults with certain chronic medical
conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease and compromised immune
systems. Not only are children at risk for influenza when unvaccinated, but
infected children often transmit influenza to other vulnerable populations,
such as grandparents and other caregivers age 50 and over. An expanded
vaccination recommendation means greater protection for children and for
the community at large.
"The Coalition welcomes ACIP's recommendation as we continue to educate
the health care community and the general public about the severity of
influenza," said Carol J. Baker, M.D., FAAP, FIDSA, CIIC Moderator, NFID
President and Professor of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology and Microbiology,
Baylor College of Medicine. "Influenza is very serious, but it is vaccine-
preventable. Annual vaccination of children of all ages is the best way to
protect children and interrupt virus transmission to others."
A Coalition report available on http://www.PreventChildhoodInfluenza.org
outlines key strategies for health care professionals to help ensure all
recommended children are vaccinated: offering influenza vaccination at all
medical visits and making use of the entire influenza season -- vaccinating
as soon as vaccine is available and continuing to vaccinate in January,
February and beyond.
About the Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition
The National Foundation for Infectious Diseases' (NFID) Childhood
Influenza Immunization Coalition (CIIC) was established to protect infants,
children and adolescents from influenza by communicating with "one strong
voice" the need to make influenza immunization a national health priority.
CIIC members represent 25 of the nation's leading public health, medical,
patient and parent groups committed to protecting children's health and
encouraging wellness.
The Childhood Influenza Immunization Coalition initiatives are made
possible through an unrestricted educational grant to NFID from sanofi
pasteur.
