Changes in the schedule since last version
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) annually reviews the recommended Adult Immunization Schedule to ensure that the schedule reflects current recommendations for the licensed vaccines. In October 2009, ACIP approved the Adult Immunization Schedule for 2010, which includes several changes. These changes were published in Morbitiy and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) on January 15, 2010, as Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule --- United States, 2010.
