Red Book® Online Table – NEW
Status of Licensure and Recommendations for New Vaccines*

Due to the complexity of the vaccine licensure process and the large number of vaccines on the horizon, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has developed this information page on Red Book Online to provide current information about the licensure process and AAP recommendations about vaccines listed in the table. This table will be updated when changes occur.
