June ACIP presentations available online

We neglected to mention that the slides from speakers at June's ACIP meeting were posted online in the last few weeks. For those looking for details, data, references, and scientific sophistication well beyond anything available in the media (for understandable reasons), these are great resources, particularly regarding Merck's HPV vaccine, the main item on the June agenda.

The files available include several presentations on Gardasil (safety and efficacy data from Merck, cost-effectiveness analyses, recommendation details, etc.), as well as the many other topics the committee considered, including a new recommendation for varicella vaccination, updates on influenza, mumps, rotavirus, avian flu, and much more.
