CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices ( ACIP ) meeting is scheduled this month for October 23rd through October 24th. The Agenda is now set. Should you have available time and would like to catch part of the discussion you can listen to the live webcast once the link is posted. Information about the meeting should be accessible here. First up for discussion is pneumococcal vaccines. Recent innovations and subsequent approvals for pneumococcal vaccines have given healthcare providers diverse serotype prevention options. Prevnar 20 PCV20, Vaxneuvance PCV 15, and Capvaxive PCV21 have welcome improvements in IPD prevention strategies.
Meningococcal vaccines will be a topic of discussion on Thursday. Recent advancements, vaccine combinations Men ACWY-B ( Penbraya ) and dosing schedule updates on GSK's MenB vaccine Bexsero will be covered.
Other vaccines will be reviewed as well from influenza, COVID and RSV, to Mpox and Chikungunya.
ACIP recommendations are invaluable for today’s modern medical practices. The ACIP affords the HCP guidance, support and provides subject matter expertise so physicians, nurses, and now pharmacists may help protect human life through immunization.
