Recommended Adult Vaccines by Age Group
{"Image DocumentName": "Recommended Adult Vaccines by Age Group", "Image ImageDescription": "Recommendations for the routine use of vaccines in adults are issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) was established in 1964 by the Surgeon General of the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) as a federal advisory committee, and it provides expert advice and guidance to the Director of the CDC and the Secretary of the US DHHS on the use of vaccines. The ACIP makes policy recommendations, subject to the approval of the Director of the CDC, regarding the use of currently licensed vaccines in the US civilian population. In making policy recommendations, the ACIP reviews many factors, including disease burden in the US population; data on safety, efficacy, and effectiveness; cost-effectiveness of the vaccine; and other data. ACIP recommendations for adult vaccines are often harmonized with recommendations of other professional organizations, such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American College of Physicians.1. Each year the ACIP reviews and updates the adult immunization schedule. The 2012 schedule was approved in October of 2011 and includes several changes and updates. It is important that the footnotes be read when using the schedule. This slide shows the part of the schedule that lists recommended immunizations by age group.
