Editor, Senior Moderator
October 30, 2010 ? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) discussed and approved multiple changes in the 2011 immunization charts for both children and adults on Thursday.
...

The 2011 schedule changes for ages 0-6 years, not including yesterday's additions, included 4 changes: (1) revision of wording regarding a sidebar, (2) added guidance on the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for children who did not receive a birth dose, (3) added information on the use of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), and (4) guidance on administration of 1 or 2 doses of influenza vaccine based on the child's history of H1N1 influenza infection.

...


The fourth change pertains to vaccination against influenza. The 2011 chart will include a new footnote that "children aged 6 months through 8 years who received no doses of monovalent 2009 H1N1 vaccine should receive 2 doses of 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine."
