Asian Pacific Pediatric Association Recommendation

The Philippine Pediatric Society, Inc. Officers and Members of the Board of Trustees on its meeting last August 17, 2006 has recommended for your information:

that rotavirus immunization as included in the routine schedule of immunization be deferred until adequate date on its efficiency/effectiveness has been gathered. This was based on the recommendation of the Rotavirus Workshops during the Asia Pacific Pediatric Association (APPA) Meeting held last July 20-21, 2006 at the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel, Chonburi, Pattaya, Thailand.

that universal vaccines be separated from the use of vaccine for the specific condition in the schedule of immunization

Please be guided accordingly

Very Truly Yours

Jocelyn Yambao-Franco, MD President
