Disclaimer

Molina Healthcare of Texas's Preventive Care Guidelines are derived from recommendations from nationally recognized organizations. Since it is recognized that it is impossible to foresee all possible clinical situations, Molina recommends that clinical judgment be applied, and that the treatment provided to members deviate from the guidelines when individual patient considerations dictate. As with all clinical reference resources, they reflect the best understanding of the science of medicine at the time of publication, but they should be used with the clear understanding that continued research may result in new knowledge and recommendations. We recommend that the medical record contain appropriate documentation for clinical decisions.

For additional information about vaccines, vaccine supply and contraindications for immunization, please visit the National Immunization Program Website or call the National Immunization Hotline at : 1-800 232-2522.

Guidelines are based on U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations (2003), American Academy of Pediatrics (2005), Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule United States, 2005, Academy of Pediatrics Periodicity Schedule March 2000, Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule by Age Group and Medical Conditions United States 2004-2005, AAFP Summary of Policy Recommendations for Periodic Health Examinations Rev. 5.6 August 2004, Guidelines for Perinatal Care, American College of Obstetricians, 4th Edition (1997).

Approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP),American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),
the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and 
CDC National Center for HIV/STD/TB Prevention.

Adopted by Molina Healthcare Quality Improvement Committee October 2008
