Notice to Readers: Discontinuation of Routine Distribution of Printed Copies of MMWR Weekly

Effective August 1, 2014, subscribers who currently receive printed copies of MMWR at no cost directly from CDC each week will no longer receive them. This decision was reached after careful consideration of the costs of printing and mailing. Distribution of printed copies of MMWR serial publications (i.e., Recommendations and Reports, Surveillance Summaries, Supplements, and Summaries of Notifiable Diseases) was discontinued in 2011 (1).

All MMWR publications are available at no cost online at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr. Readers desiring to have electronic copies of MMWR publications e-mailed to them automatically can subscribe online at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mmwrsubscribe.html. Printed copies of the MMWR Weekly and serial publications are available by subscription from the Massachusetts Medical Society and from the U.S. Government Printing Office at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/order.html.
