Dr. Sharon G. Humiston joins the
Immunization Action Coalition as associate director for research
Sharon G. Humiston, MD, MPH, recently joined IAC

authored more than 70 journal articles and reports, and has
contributed ten chapters to scholarly medical textbooks. Her
research interests include immunization outreach, adolescent
immunization, school-located vaccination, and web-based
immunization education for providers. She has been involved
in approximately 30 research projects that have received

Correction: IAC posts second correction for "Medical Management of Vaccine
Reactions in Children and Teens"
The Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) has
posted a second
correction to its educational piece for healthcare
professionals titled "Medical Management of Vaccine
Reactions in Children and Teens."
The maximum single dose of 50 mg of diphenhydramine
(Benadryl) for adolescents cited on page 2 of 3, differed
from the maximum single dose of 100 mg noted in the table on
page 3. IAC has revised the table on page 3 to correspond
with the information given on page 2 (i.e., 50 mg as the
maximum single dose).
We apologize for any confusion this has caused and thank our
readers for calling attention to this discrepancy in the
educational piece.
Note: Recommendations differ for the use of diphenhydramine.
The source materials IAC referenced for this piece recommend
a maximum single dose of 50 mg of diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
for adolescents (>100 lbs), whereas other sources recommend
a maximum single dose of 100 mg of diphenhydramine
(Benadryl) for adolescents (>100 lbs). The sources IAC
referenced are included at the end of the handout.
If you obtained "Medical Management of Vaccine Reactions in
Children and Teens" from our website prior to May 4, 2011,
be sure to download the updated and corrected version at
http://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p3082a.pdf
