Vaccines and Other Immunizing Agents in the Adult Immunization Schedule*
How to use the schedule
To make vaccination recommendations, healthcare providers should:
- Determine recommended vaccinations by age (Table 1 - By Age)
- Assess need for additional recommended vaccinations by medical condition or other indication (Table 2 - By Medical Condition)
- Review vaccine types, dosing frequencies and intervals, and considerations for special situations (Notes)
- Review contraindications and precautions for vaccine types (Appendix)
- Review new or updated ACIP guidance (Addendum)
