Abstract

The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) develops recommendations for the use of vaccines for Canadians, which are summarized in the Canadian Immunization Guide (the Guide) and which is updated on a regular basis. Between March 2014 and February 2015 recommendations on five vaccines have been issued. Updates to the Guide include recommendations made for the alternative dosing administration of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in adolescents, timing of varicella zoster immune globulin (VarIg) following exposure to varicella, and the meningococcal and quadrivalent influenza vaccines, recently authorized for use in Canada. A change in recommendations for the use of pneumococcal vaccines in adults and individuals with asthma has also been made. The chapter on tick-borne encephalitis vaccine has now been removed from the Guide as this vaccine is no longer available in Canada.
