I got frustrated by not being able to find a single source of good information on just which vaccines are available in the USA, so this is my attempt. The basic information on available vaccines comes from the AAP 2000 Red Book. The web links I have added on my own. I am not guaranteeing that this information is complete or correct, but it's better than anything else I've been able to find. Links are to vaccine information sheets when I can find them, or other parts of the manufacturers' web sites.
Please note that while I think the list of vaccines is complete the list of manufacturers and trade names is not. Just because I only show one manufacturer for a particular vaccine does not mean that it's the only manufacturer.
Vaccines in red are part of the AAP/CDC/AAFP recommended childhood immunization schedule.
I would of course be grateful to anyone who can provide additional information or corrections.
