Abstract:
Executive Summary:This Clinical Practice Guideline for the Periodic Health Examination (Pediatric Immunization) is an output from the joint
undertaking of the Department of Health and National Institutes of Health-Institute of Clinical Epidemiology.
This clinical practice guideline is a systematic synthesis of scientific evidence on immunization for the prevention of human
papilloma virus (HPV) infection, influenza, typhoid fever, Japanese encephalitis, poliomyelitis, meningococcal infection, and Hepatitis
A in the pediatric population. The CPG provides nine (9) recommendations on prioritized questions regarding the relevant vaccines
for preventing these seven (7) diseases.
Recommendations are based on the appraisal of the best available evidence on each of the eight identified clinical
questions. The CPG is intended to be used by general practitioners and specialists in the primary care setting, policy makers,
employers and administrators, allied health practitioners and even patients. The guideline development process followed the widely
accepted Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or the GRADE approach including GRADE
Adolopment, a systematic process of adapting evidence summaries and the GRADE Evidence to Decision (EtD) framework. 1,2 It
includes 1) identification of critical questions and critical outcomes, 2) retrieval of current evidence, 3) assessment and synthesis of
the evidence base for these critical questions, 4) formulation of draft recommendations, 5) convening of a multi-sectoral stakeholder
panel to discuss values and preferences and assess the strength of the recommendations, and 6) planning for dissemination,
implementation, impact evaluation and updating.
The recommendations in this CPG shall hold and will be updated after 3 years or when new evidence arise.
