a The 2001 WHO-recommended vaccination schedule comprised 4 vaccines containing 6 antigens: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP); measles; polio; and bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG). In 2005, 2 more antigens were added: hepatitis B (Hep B) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). In 2014, rotavirus, pneumococcal conjugate, rubella, and HPV were added to the schedule, bringing the total number of WHO-recommended antigens to 12. Notes: The WHO-recommended target group for HPV vaccination is girls ages 9–13 years. HPV vaccination of boys is optional but not recommended in resource-constrained settings. WHO recommends all countries introduce at least 1 dose of inactivated polio virus (IPV) into their immunization schedules by the end of 2015, which will add an additional $1.26 to the schedule.
