Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices Recommended Immunization Schedule for Children and Adolescents Aged 18 Years or Younger - United States, 2024.

At its October 2023 meeting, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices* (ACIP) approved the Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule for Ages 18 Years or Younger, United States, 2024. The child and adolescent immunization schedule, which can be found on the CDC immunization schedule website (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules), is published annually to consolidate and summarize updates to ACIP recommendations on the vaccination of children and adolescents and to assist health care providers in implementing current ACIP recommendations. The 2024 immunization schedule includes several changes to the cover page, tables, notes, and appendix from the 2023 immunization schedule. In addition, the 2024 child and adolescent immunization schedule includes a new addendum section to summarize new or updated ACIP recommendations that will occur before the next annual update to the child and adolescent immunization schedule. Health care providers are advised to use the cover page, tables, notes, appendix, and addendum together to identify the recommended immunizations for patient populations.
