Recommended childhood immunization schedule--United States, 2002.

Each year, CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) reviews the recommended childhood immunization schedule to ensure that it is current with changes in manufacturers' vaccine formulations, has revised recommendations for the use of licensed vaccines, and has recommendations for newly licensed vaccines. This report presents the recommended childhood immunization schedule for 2002, which has remained the same in content since January 2001 but has a redesigned format.
