The objectives of my talk
include the following.
At the end, listeners will recognize
the ACIP immunization schedules.
We will review the current
ACIP recommendations
and include 16 key
recommendations, 12 of which
are for children and
adolescents and four for adults.
Finally, we will provide
some understanding
on the rationale and evidence
used for vaccine recommendations
in the United States.

The US Advisory Committee
on Immunization Practices
produces, on an annual schedule,
two schedules for vaccines.
We provide a schedule for
children from age zero
through 18 years and
a schedule for adults.
In addition, there is a
catch up schedule for people
who are lacking immunization.
And also, the footnotes that
accompany the schedules.
The footnotes are important
as they contain a vast amount
of information that will
help fill in any holes
that people have in
their understanding.
The schedules are
available on the website
that is shown on this slide.
