Pneumococcal vaccine recommendation. American College of Physicians; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Endorsed by the advisory committee on immunization practices, council of medical societies.

Vaccination with the now-available pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for persons with diseases and other conditions predisposing to the development of bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia or increased risk of death from such infection. The value of vaccination on the basis of advanced age is not clear at this time. The vaccine will not eliminate all risk of pneumococcal pneumonia and patients with some immune deficiency states may not respond adequately to te vaccine. Revaccination should not be done at intervals of less than five years. More data are needed from adequately designed and executed studies of benefit from the vaccine in healthy elderly persons and high-risk populations. Physicians should pay particular attention ot specific diagnostic needs in pneumococcal infection.

Influenza vaccine: recommendation of the Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Influenza vaccine for 1978--79 will consist of inactivated trivalent preparations of antigens of influenza viruses expected to be prevalent. Alternative vaccine formulations will be available for different age groups. Annual vaccination is recommended for persons at greatest risk: chronically ill adults and children, and those over 65. Current influenza virus vaccine has been associated with few side effects, but three types of systemic reactions have been described. Pregnant women do not appear to have any special risk from influenza vaccination; physicians evaluating them should use the same criteria applied to other persons.
