In this post I link to and excerpt from the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention‘s ACIP Vaccine Recommendations from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) [Accessed 5-24-2021].
All that follows is from the ACIP Vaccine Recommendations webpage:
The ACIP develops recommendations on how to use vaccines to control disease in the United States.
The Committee’s recommendations are forwarded to CDC’s Director for approval. Once the ACIP recommendations have been reviewed and approved by the CDC Director and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, they are published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). The MMWR publication represents the final and official CDC recommendations for immunization of the U.S. population.
Professional organizations that work with the ACIP to develop the annual childhood and adult schedules include the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American College of Physicians (ACP).
