In October 2016, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to approve the Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule for Adults Aged 19 Years or Older, United States, 2017. The 2017 adult immunization schedule summarizes ACIP recommendations in 2 figures, footnotes for the figures, and a table of contraindications and precautions for vaccines recommended for adults (Figure). These documents can also be found at http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/schedules<\/a>. The full ACIP recommendations for each vaccine can be found at http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/hcp\/acip-recs\/index.html<\/a>. The 2017 adult immunization schedule was also reviewed and approved by the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Recommended Immunization Schedule for Adults Aged 19 Years or Older, United States, 2017. <\/p>\n Recommended Immunization Schedule for Adults Aged 19 Years or Older, United States, 2017. <\/p>\n Recommended immunization schedule for adults aged 19 years or older by age group, United States, 2017 <\/p>\n Recommended immunization schedule for adults aged 19 years or older by medical condition and other indications, United States, 2017 <\/p>\n Contraindications and precautions for vaccines recommended for adults aged 19 years or older* <\/p>\n Newly added to the 2017 adult immunization schedule is a cover page that contains information on select general principles pertinent to the adult immunization schedule, additional CDC resources, instructions for reporting adverse events related to vaccination and suspected cases of reportable vaccine-preventable diseases, and an ACIP-approved list of standardized acronyms for vaccines recommended for adults. In addition, the table of contraindications and precautions for vaccines routinely recommended for adults that was formerly a standalone document has been incorporated into the adult immunization schedule. Changes in the 2017 adult immunization schedule from the previous year's schedule include new or revised ACIP recommendations on influenza, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccinations. <\/p>\n LAIV should not be used during the 20162017 influenza season. <\/p>\n Adults with a history of egg allergy who have only hives after exposure to egg should receive age-appropriate inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) or recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV). <\/p>\n Adults with a history of egg allergy with symptoms other than hives (e.g., angioedema, respiratory distress, lightheadedness, or recurrent emesis, or who required epinephrine or another emergency medical intervention) may receive age-appropriate IIV or RIV. The selected vaccine should be administered in an inpatient or outpatient medical setting and supervised by a health care provider who is able to recognize and manage severe allergic conditions. <\/p>\n Women through age 26 years and men through age 21 years who have not received any HPV should receive a 3-dose series of HPV at 0, 1-2, and 6 months. Men aged 22 through 26 years may be vaccinated with a 3-dose series of HPV at 0, 1-2, and 6 months. <\/p>\n Women through age 26 years and men through age 21 years (and men aged 22 through 26 years who may receive HPV) who initiated HPV series before age 15 years and received 2 doses at least 5 months apart are considered adequately vaccinated and do not need an additional dose of HPV. <\/p>\n Women through age 26 years and adult males through age 21 years (and men aged 22 through 26 years who may receive HPV) who initiated HPV series before age 15 years and received only 1 dose, or 2 doses less than 5 months apart, are not considered adequately vaccinated and should receive 1 additional dose of HPV. <\/p>\n Adults with chronic liver disease, including, but not limited to, hepatitis C virus infection, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level greater than twice the upper limit of normal, should receive a HepB series. <\/p>\n Adults with anatomical or functional asplenia or persistent complement component deficiencies should receive a 2-dose primary series of MenACWY at least 2 months apart and revaccinate every 5 years. They should also receive a series of MenB with either a 2-dose series of MenB-4C at least 1 month apart or a 3-dose series of MenB-FHbp at 0, 1-2, and 6 months. <\/p>\n Adults with HIV infection who have not been previously vaccinated should receive a 2-dose primary series of MenACWY at least 2 months apart and revaccinate every 5 years. Those who previously received 1 dose of MenACWY should receive a second dose at least 2 months after the first dose. Adults with HIV infection are not routinely recommended to receive MenB because meningococcal disease in this population is caused primarily by serogroups C, W, and Y. <\/p>\n Microbiologists who are routinely exposed to isolates of Neisseria meningitidis should receive 1 dose of MenACWY and revaccinate every 5 years if the risk for infection remains, and either a 2-dose series of MenB-4C at least 1 month apart or a 3-dose series of MenB-FHbp at 0, 1-2, and 6 months. <\/p>\n Adults at risk because of a meningococcal disease outbreak should receive 1 dose of MenACWY if the outbreak is attributable to serogroup A, C, W, or Y, or either a 2-dose series of MenB-4C at least 1 month apart or a 3-dose series of MenB-FHbp at 0, 1-2, and 6 months if the outbreak is attributable to serogroup B. <\/p>\n Young adults aged 16 through 23 years (preferred age range is 16 through 18 years) who are healthy and not at increased risk for serogroup B meningococcal disease may receive either a 2-dose series of MenB-4C at least 1 month apart or a 2-dose series of MenB-FHbp at 0 and 6 months for short-term protection against most strains of serogroup B meningococcal disease. <\/p>\n Significant changes in the 2017 adult immunization schedule footnotes include the following: <\/p>\n The format for the footnotes has been condensed, simplified, and standardized. The format for pneumococcal; human papillomavirus; meningococcal; varicella; and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination footnotes have undergone significant revision. <\/p>\n Lastly, the table of contraindications and precautions for vaccines routinely recommended for adults, previously a standalone document, has been incorporated into the adult immunization schedule. The content of the table has been consolidated and simplified. <\/p>\n Work Group Chair: Laura E.
