Recommended schedules for routine immunization of children and adults.
Vaccine recommendations continue to evolve as a result of new vaccines, safety considerations, changing disease incidence (e.g., polio), and public health priorities. The pace of discovery is accelerating and advisory committees will need to respond accordingly. Each vaccine, new or old, will be required to earn its place in the routine immunization schedule on the basis of public health benefit or cost-benefit studies.
