Adult Immunization Schedule

Immunization Recommendations, United States - 2010


Changes for 2010
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.

Changes

ACIP recommended vaccination of females with either a bivalent papillomavirus vaccine (HPV2) or a quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV4).
ACIP issued a permissive recommendation for use of HPV4 in males.
Introductory sentences were added to the schedule's footnotes for measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccines.
Clarifications were made to the footnotes for measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, hepatitis A, meningococcal, and Haemophilus influenza type b vaccines.
Schedule information was added to the hepatitis B vaccine footnote.
NOTE that the various formats of the schedule below do not include these changes. New formats will be posted as soon as they are available.

For the most current (2010) recommended adult immunization schedule, see MMWR.
