All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work. This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
On June 20, 2012, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended routine use of 13-valent. pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13; Prevnar) for adults aged â¥ 19 years with immunocompromising conditions, functional or anatomic asplenia, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, or cochlear implants.
Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline) is recommended as a 2-dose series at ages 2 and 4 months. ACIP recommendations for use of rotavirus vaccines are available at www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5802a1.htm. The minimum age for the first dose is 6 weeks and the maximum age for dose #1 is 14 weeks 6 days. Vaccination should not be initiated for infants age 15 weeks 0 days or older because there are insufficient data on the safety of dose #1 in older infants. The minimum interval between doses of rotavirus vaccine is 4 weeks.
