Recommendations the same for CDC & AAP?

[kerikadi]

Are their recommendations & schedules for vaccines identical?

I can see where the AAP has a vested interest in an insane number of vaccines since they get so much money donated to them from Wyeth, Merck etc. But what about the CDC? Do they receive donations as well?

I think the AAP, at least in the '80s, around when a second dose of MMR was added to the schedule, disagreed with a booster dose of MMR at 4-6 years and thought a booster at 11 or 12 was a better idea. But other than that the AAP and CDC agree.
