- DTaP-Hib combo for infants
- DTaP-HepB combo
- Lyme - inactivated
- Influenza - Live attenuated Nasal Spray
- Pneumococcal Tetravalent conjugate
- ??? Group B Strep
10Word association
- Franklin
- Crutches
- Wheelchair
- Iron Lung
- FDR
11Poliomyelitis
- Enterovirus three serotypes
- Highly contagious
- Most cases non-specific febrile illness
- A few (1100 to 11000) cases followed by
paralytic disease - Fatal in 2-10 of paralytic cases
- Transmission person to person, primarily
fecal-oral
12Poliomyelitis Eradication
- Widespread use of vaccine mid 1950s
- gt20,000 cases in 1952, lt100 cases in the mid
1960s (U.S.) - Last indigenous U.S. case of wild poliovirus in
1979 - Western Hemisphere certified free of indigenous
polio in 1994 - Global Eradication goal year 2000 (?2003)
13Question
- Which is better, IPV or OPV?
14OPV (Sabin)
- Live attenuated virus - trivalent
- Induces GI immunity
- gt95 immunity (probably lifelong) to all three
serotypes after 3 doses - VAPP 8 or 9 cases average annually in US
15Vaccine-Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis (VAPP)
- Risk 1case in 750,000 first dose OPV
- U.S. 1980-94 - 125 Cases VAPP
- 30 in immunodeficient (either received OPV or had
direct contact of OPV recipient) - 6 in community contacts
- 40 in healthy close contacts
- 49 in healthy vaccine recipients
- 8 or 9 cases annually in US average
16IPV (Salk)
- Introduced 1955 widely used until OPV available
in early 1960s - Inferior GI immunity - Conceivable to be
subsequently infected with and excrete wild-type
or vaccine-virus strains in feces, but
epidemiologic studies in Netherlands showed IPV
prevented circulation of wild poliovirus - No VAPP
17IPV - Efficacy
- Current IPV more immunogenic than prior
- Protective antibody
- 90-100 after 2 doses
- 99-100 after 3 doses
- Long-term antibody persistence
- US data lacking
- gt90 after 25 years in Sweden (lower Antigen
content)
18Polio
- IPV _at_ 2, 4, 6-18mos 4-6 yrs
- OPV only in special circumstances
- Mass Vaccination campaign in Outbreak control
- Unvaccinated and traveling to endemic area in lt 4
weeks - Parents who insist and understand VAPP
19When Polio is gone, should we still vaccinate?
- Possible discontinuance after global eradication
- Problems with cessation of vaccination
- Biological terrorism
- Maintaining Vaccine stocks
- Accidental release
- Persistence in the environment
- At a minimum continue until IPV available
worldwide
20Word Association
- One Nut
- German
- Chipmunk
- Koplick
21MMR
- What is minimum time between doses?
22MMR
- All children should receive 2 doses MMR, unless
contraindicated, after 1st birthday - First dose MMR at 12-15 months
- Second MMR at 4-6 yrs, but can be given as early
as 1 month after 1st dose (New) - Review records at 11-12 years to be certain that
two doses after first birthday
23MMR - Why 2nd dose?
- 2-5 Primary vaccine failure
- Vaccinate too early when maternal Antibody
present - Technical problems such as improper storage
- recent IG
- gt96 initial seronegative children will respond
to revaccination
24Word Association
- Grey
- Nail
- Inconsolable crying
- Whoop
25Diptheria-Tetanus-Pertussis
- Use DTaP, not DTP
- Less reactogenic
- DTaP/Hib combo not OK for 2, 4, 6 months
- lower immune response
- Adolescents/ Adults
- Recent article - Pediatr Infect Dis J April 2000
- TdaP/IPV - safe and immunogenic
26Pertussis
- Significant worldwide problem 50 Million cases
300,000 deaths - Cases U.S.
- 1934 - 260,000
- 1976 - 1,010
- 1993 - 6,586
- Increase in all age groups, but greatest increase
in agegt5, though infants at highest risk for
pertussis complications
27Pertussis - Increase
- Has occurred despite increasing vaccination
levels - Possible reasons
- decreased vaccine efficacy
- waning immunity
- increased diagnosis and reporting
28Whole-cell Pertussis Vaccine
- Licensed in 1940s
- 70-90 effective in preventing serious dz
- Common severe local adverse events (pain,
erythema, swelling), fever, mild systemic
(drowsy, fretful, anorexia) - More severe systemic events (sz, hypotonic-
hyporesponsive) less often 1 in 1,750 doses - Acute Encephalopathy 0-10 per 1,000,000
29Acellular Pertussis Vaccine
- Development prompted by concerns over safety of
whole cell vaccine - Licensed for use at all 5 doses
- Efficacy possibly slightly less 59-89
- Substantially less endotoxin (3000 vs 4
Antigens) Less Reactogenic
30Acellular Pertussis Vaccine
- Less Reactogenic
- Local/mild systemic - down
- Inconsolable cry - down 4x
- Fever gt105 - down 3x
- Seizure - down
- Hypotonic-hyporesponsive - down
- Encephalopathy - ?
31DTP/ DTaP Recommendations
- DTaP is the preferred vaccine for all doses in
the series (2,4,6, 15-18mo, 4-6 yr) - DTP is an acceptable alternative
- Td at 11-12 years old if at least 5 years since
last dose of DTP/DTaP - TD subsequent every 10 years
- DTaP-Hib combo not yet licensed for doses 1, 2, 3
32Question
- 7 week old in earlyfor Well Child Visit
- Can you immunize?
- When is it too early?
33Word Association
- No big deal
- Death
- Encephalitis
- Pneumonia
- Calamine
- Benadryl
- Acyclovir
34Varicella
- Just do it!!!! .......Unless
- Contraindicated or
- You are smarter than CDC, AAFP, ACIP, AAP
- Hesitancy has centered around three questions
- How efficacious and for how long?
- 86 against any disease, 100 against severe
disease. Duration probably gt 20 yrs.
35Varicella
- At risk for more frequent or severe zoster?
- NO. Less likely to develop zoster.
- Do benefits outweigh cost?
- Can cause significant morbidity and mortality
- 4 million cases/year
- 4000-9000 hospitalizations/year
- 100 deaths/year
36Varicella
- Susceptible children may receive Varicella during
any visit after their first birthday and
unvaccinated persons who lack a reliable history
of chickenpox should be vaccinated during the
11-12 year old visit. - Susceptible persons gt 13 should receive 2 doses
at least 1 month apart
37Varicella Vaccine
- Licensed Spring 1995
- Expanded Recommendations May 1999
- ACIP recommends states require proof of disease
prior to day care or school entry.and consider a
middle school requirement - Colorado plan
- Effective for post exposure prophylaxis if given
within 3 days of exposure, possibly up to 5 days
38Varicella Vaccine
- Strengthened recommendation for gt 12
- teachers, day care institutional settings
- college, military, correctional inst
- non-pregnant women
- live in household with kids
- international travelers
- Consider in asymptomatic HIV with CD4 gt25
39Varicella Vaccine
- Most common adverse event?
- Rash
- rash within 2 weeks after vaccination is usually
wild type virus - transmission of vaccine virus documented only 3
times out of 15 million doses
40Rotavirus
- Highly infectious
- Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic
shedding to life-threatening GE with severe V/D
dehydration - Majority of cases in winter months
- Fecal-oral transmission most likely
- Washin hands aint workin
- Most common cause severe diarrhea among young
children in US
41Rotavirus - Burden of Suffering
- Age group lt5 years old in the US
- 70 will become ill, nearly all infected
- 1 in 8 will seek medical care (500,000 visits/yr)
- 1 in 78 will be hospitalized (50,000 admits/yr)
- death is rare in the US (100/yr), but 800,000
deaths/yr in developing areas of the world
42Rotavirus - Immunization
- Currently under FDA review for licensure
- Feb 1998 ACIP majority voted supportive
- RotaShield (Wyeth Lederle)
- Live attenuated virus
- Tetravalent, covering 4 most common serotypes
43Rotavirus - Immunization
- Oral administration
- 3 dose series at 2, 4, and 6 months
- Minimum 3 weeks between doses
- First dose not after 6 months old(fever)
- 2nd and 3rd doses not after 1 year old (Lack of
data) - OK with other immunizations
- Data on premies unclear
44RotaShield - Efficacy
- With 3 doses
- 50 efficacy against any Rotavirus diarrhea
- 70-95 against severe Rotavirus diarrhea
- 100(?) against hospitalization due to Rotavirus
- 1 dose less efficacious, 2 doses no data
- Kids will still squirt mild Rota 50-70 of
diarrhea hospital admits are non-Rota
45RotaShield - Cost Effectiveness
- Price hasnt been set yet
- Direct medical costs due to Rotavirus est.
270-450 million, societal cost 1 billion - Break even at 9/dose on direct costs, 51/dose
on societal costs - Probably will be cost effective
46Question

age two months now in to get caught up. - How much time can elapse before you need to start
over? - Which immunizations are indicated?
- How many immunizations can you give?

58Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Does It Work?
- Prospective DBPC Trial _at_ Kaiser - North CA
- Black et al, Ped Inf Dis J, 19187, March 2000
- 38,000 healthy children
- placebo control with Meningococcal C conjugate
vaccine - Adverse Effects
- Local reactions in 10-20
- Fever gt 38 C in 15-20
- more severe local or systemic events were
uncommon and self limited
59Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Does It Work?
- 1 case invasive disease due to vaccine serotypes
vs. 38 cases in control group - Efficacy 97.4 (95CI 83-100)
- If you include all serotypes, 6 cases in
vaccinated group vs. 55 in control group - Efficacy 89.1 (95CI 74-96)
60Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine - Effect on Otitis
Media
- 9 reduction in OM visits
- 7 reduction in OM episodes
- effectiveness of vaccine against frequent OM
increased from 9.3-22.8 as frequency of episodes
increased - 20 reduction in ventilatory tube placement
- Extrapolated for US could eliminate 2,000,000 OM
visits and 100,000 tubes
61Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine -Questions
- Will nonvaccine strains replace vaccine strains
as cause for disease? - Will we need to alter management protocols for
infants with fever without source? - How will conjugate vaccine affect pneumococcal
immunization of adults? - World wide impact? When available in developing
countries
62Prevnar - temporary shortage
- Maximize limited vaccine
- Highest priority
- All children up to 24 months
- High risk children aged 24-59

failure or nephrotic syndrome, immunosuppressive
therapy or radiation therapy, chronic illnesses
including cardiac, non-asthma pulmonary, DM, CSF
leaks
63What is the difference between DT, dT, DTP, DTaP?
64It is November. Mom of a healthy 9 month old
comes for WCC. Routing immunizations UTD. Any
other immunization recommendations?
65Influenza

- Review Varicella, Hep B, MMR
- ? Hep A (Travel Plans)
- Meningococcus (? Dormitory)
- Lyme
71Question
- Name and spell the organisms targeted in the
Meningitis, H Flu and Lyme vaccines
72Lyme Disease
- gt12,000 reported cases per year in US
- In highly endemic areas, 15-30 of Ixodes nymphs
infected (only 0-3 in southern US) - Risk of getting Lyme disease relates to
- density of vector ticks in the environment
- prevalence of B. burgdorferi infection in the
vector ticks - extent of person-tick contact
73Lyme Vaccine (LYMErix)
- Vaccine licensed by FDA Dec 1998
- Three dose series at 0, 1, and 12 months
- Efficacy against definite Lyme disease
- 49 after two doses
- 76 after three doses
74Lyme Vaccine Should be Considered for
- Persons aged 15-70 who reside, work, or recreate
in areas of high or moderate risk with frequent
or prolonged exposure - Travelers to areas of high or moderate risk with
frequent of prolonged exposure - Persons with previous history of uncomplicated
Lyme disease who are at continued high risk
75Lyme Vaccine Could be Considered for

in areas of high or moderate risk, but whose
exposure exposure to tick infested habitat is not
frequent or prolonged.
76Lyme Vaccine is Not Recommended for
- Persons lt15 years old
- Persons who reside, work or recreate in areas of
high or moderate risk, but whose exposure to tick
infested habitats is minimal or none - Persons in areas of low or no risk
- Pregnant women
- Persons with a previous history of treatment
resistant Lyme arthritis
77Question
- Which vaccines contain live virus?
78Meningococcal Infections
- Multiple serogroups - B and C most prevalent in
US (45 each) - Occurs most often in children lt5 yrs
- Rising number of outbreaks
- Outbreaks have occurred in semi-closed
communities child care centers, schools,
colleges, military recruit camps
79Meningococcal Disease
- 2,400-3,000 cases/yr in US
- mostly sporadic, outbreaks are lt3 of total
- rate of 0.8-1.3 cases per 100,000
- rates are highest for infants
- much of neonatal meningococcal dz is type B
80Meningococcal Vaccine
- Quadravalent polysaccharide vaccine against
groups A, C, Y, and W-135 N meningitidis - Not group B (poor immunogenicity)
- Single dose
- Recommended for age 2 years and older in high
risk groups - asplenia, travelers, outbreak control, military
recruits
81Risk of Meningococcal Infection in College
Students Harrison et al., JAMA Vol. 281 No.
201906, May 26, 1999
- Maryland cases 1992-1997
- 67 cases aged 16-30
- 14 attended colleges (29 fatality)
- 10/12 cases where serogroup was known were due to
vaccine serogroups - Annual incidence not different between college
and non college individuals - Among college students, incidence significantly
higher in on-campus vs off-campus housing 3.24 vs
0.96 per 100,000)
82Meningococcal Disease - Rate per 100,000
- Children 2-5 1.7
- persons 18-23 1.4
- non-college 18-23 1.5
- college students 0.6
- freshmen college 1.8
- dorm residents 2.2
- freshmen in dorms 4.6
8339 wk AGA infant, 1 day old.Should you give
Hepatitis B Immunization?
- What is Moms Hep B status/risk?
- Do you have preservative free Hep B?
84Thimerosal
- Mercury containing preservative used in many
vaccines since the 1930s - FDA modernization act of 1997 called for FDA to
review and assess the risk of all mercury
containing foods and drugs - No thimerosal in OPV, IPV, MMR, Hep A, Varicella,
Lyme - Some HIB, DTaP and Hep B products contain
Thimerosal
85Thimerosal
- Previously, if infant received all thimerosal
containing vaccines (worst case scenario) in the
first six months, could have exceeded EPA and FDA
standards - No clinical evidence of mercury toxicity has been
reported in vaccinated children - Hep B now available thimerosal free
86Question
- Do parents prefer single visit with multiple
injections or multiple visits? - What is the maximum number of immunizations that
can be given in one visit?
87Are there any new vaccines?
88Pediarix
- DTaP, IPV, HBV
- 2,4,6 months schedule
- HBV1 _at_ birth
- GSK Web Site
- Not indicated for booster doses
- Available VFC
89On the Horizon
- Live attenuated Influenza
- Adult acellular pertussis
- HPV
- Meningococcal conjugate
- S. aureus for dialysis patients
90How bout them PDAs
91Immunization Barriers - The Medical system
- Lack of Health Insurance
- Availability of Medical Services
- Vaccine Cost - Who is eligible for VFC?
- Age 0-18
- Medicaid enrolled
- Uninsured
- American Indian or Alaskan Native
- Physician factors
92Immunization Barriers - Provider Factors
- Missed opportunities
- Uncertainty among physicians regarding
immunization practices - Confusion about contraindications
- Physician attitudes
- Failure to administer immunizations simultaneously
93Inappropriate Withhold of Immunizations
- General
- Mild acute illness, temp lt101F
- Non-bloody diarrhea, well hydrated
- Allergic Rhinitis
- Prematurity
- Current use of Antibiotics
- PCN Allergy
- Recent exposure to infectious illness
94Inappropriate Withhold of Immunizations
- DTP/DTaP
- Previous fever lt105 to DTP
- Family History Seizures
- Waiting full two months when child behind
schedule - MMR
- Mom is pregnant
95Common Misconceptions
- Disease had already begun to disappear before
vaccines were introduced, because of better
hygiene and sanitation - The majority of people who get disease have been
vaccinated - There are hot lots of vaccine that have been
associated with more adverse events.
96Patient Barriers - Misconceptions
- Vaccines cause many harmful side effects,
illnesses, and even death - not to mention
possible long term effects we dont even know
about - Vaccine-preventable diseases have been virtually
eliminated from the US so there is no need for my
child to be vaccinated
97Patient Barriers - Misconceptions
- Giving a child multiple vaccinations for
different diseases at the same time increases the
risk of harmful side effects and can overload the
immune system
98Question
99Rotavirus Vaccine
- Licensed by FDA August 1998
- Rotavirus diarrhea (annual)
- 500,000 physician visits
- 50,000 hospitalizations
- 20 deaths
- Vaccine Efficacy
- 50-80 against all Rotavirus diarrhea
- 69-91 against severe Rotavirus diarrhea
100Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- In clinical trials .05 vs .02 (pNS) vaccine
recipients vs placebo developed intussusception - 3 studies looked at association of natural
rotavirus infection with intussusception - Two reported no association
- One reported an association
101Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- As of July 7, 1999, 15 cases of intussusception
following rotavirus vaccine reported via VAERS - 12 of 15 within 7 days of vaccine
- 13 of 15 occurred after first dose of vaccine
102Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- Assume 1.5 million doses administered
- Baseline rate of intussusception 51/100,000
infant years - Expect 14-16 cases within 1 week of vaccine by
chance alone - very unlikely that all cases reported to VAERS
103Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- July 16, 1999
- temporary suspension of use of Rotavirus vaccine
by the manufacturer, in consultation with FDA and
CDC - By Nov 99, 102 cases following Rotavirus vaccine
reported to VAERS - 57 with onset within 7 days of vaccine
- 29/57 had surgery, 7 bowel resection, 1 death
104Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- CDC case control study After one dose, rate of
intussusception was increased 25 fold in the 3-7
days following vaccination - Studies from Kaiser N. CA also showed increased
risk, especially in week following first dose
105Rotavirus Vaccine and Intussusception
- October 14, 1999 - Rotavirus vaccine withdrawn
from the market 1 year after being licensed - Did our system for licensing vaccines and
monitoring safety post licensure succeed or
fail?
