ACIP Recommendations Prescribing Child Immunization Practices
Under § 89.806(a) (relating to coverage of child immunizations), the Department of Health has established a list of citations to recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, United States Department of Health and Human Services. The child immunization practices specified in those recommendations are subject to the insurance coverage required by the Childhood Immunization Insurance Act (act) (40 P. S. §§ 3501-3508) as explained in § 89.806(a).
ACIP recommendations prescribing immunization practices are published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), a weekly publication of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. MMWR citations to the relevant ACIP recommendations are listed in this appendix. The effective date of insurance coverage required by the act for each ACIP recommended child immunization practice can be ascertained by consulting § 89.806(c).
If new ACIP recommendations that satisfy the standards in § 89.806(a) are published in the MMWR, they will become effective upon publication in the MMWR. The Department of Health will arrange for an update notice to appear in the Pennsylvania Bulletin within 30 days after the MMWR publication date of each future ACIP recommendation that satisfies the standards in § 89.806(a). The new recommendations will be codified in this appendix.
