CDC Information On Immunization


 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects to release its 2007–2008 Adult Immunization Schedule in English toward the end of October 2007, and in Spanish 2 months later. To download the schedule or to obtain information on other vaccine-related topics, contact the CDC by visiting www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/adult-schedule.htm

In addition, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has revised its Web site. The site is user-friendly for health professionals and the general public and includes ACIP vaccine recommendations by age groups, specific vaccines, and specific diseases. The site also has information about the Vaccines for Children program. For more information, visit the new site at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/acip
