# About *Needle Tips*

**1994–2017**

*Needle Tips* was our flagship publication for healthcare professionals from 1994 through 2017 when its content was merged with our weekly email newsletter, *IZ Express*. It was first printed and mailed semiannually and became a quarterly online publication beginning in 2010.

*Needle Tips* included practical information and guidance based on recommendations from CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and is also where our popular Ask the Experts feature got its start.
