Changes
in the Schedule since last version
The
2006-2007 schedule differs from
the previous
schedule as follows:
- The
broken red line has been deleted
on the age-based schedule (Figure
1). Vaccination of persons with
specific risk factors is now
shown only with purple bars.
- Human
papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine
has been added to the age-based
schedule, with a yellow bar
indicating that the vaccine
is recommended for women <26
years.
- Tetanus,
diphtheria, and acellular pertussis
(Tdap) vaccine has been added
to the age-based schedule, with
a hatched yellow bar indicating
that Tdap is a one-time, 1-dose
recommendation for persons <64
years.
- The
purple bar for varicella vaccine
has been shortened in anticipation
of the recommendation for the
use of zoster vaccine in persons
aged >60 years.
- A
new column has been added to
the medical/other indications
schedule (Figure 2) to clarify
indications for hepatitis A
and B vaccines. The indications “chronic
liver disease” and “recipients
of clotting factor concentrates” have
been removed from the previous
schedule’s third and fifth
columns, respectively, and combined
into a new column. The column
has a yellow bar for hepatitis
A and B vaccines, clarifying that
these vaccines are recommended
for all persons with these medical
indications.
- HPV
vaccine has been added to the
medical/other indications schedule,
with a yellow bar to indicate
the vaccine is recommended for
women aged <26
years with all indications except
pregnancy.
- Tdap
was added to the medical/other
indications schedule, with a hatched
yellow bar to indicate that Tdap
is a one-time, 1-dose recommendation
for all indications except pregnancy.
- The
tetanus and diphtheria footnote
(#1) has been reworded to reflect
ACIP recommendations for use
of Tdap.
- A
footnote (#2) has been added
to reflect ACIP recommendations
for HPV vaccination for all
women aged <26 years.
- The
measles, mumps, and rubella
(MMR) footnote (#3) has been
reworded to reflect ACIP recommendations
to administer a second dose of
mumps vaccine to adults in certain
age groups and with certain risk
factors.
- The
varicella footnote (#4) has
been reworded in accordance
with ACIP recommendations for
administering a routine second
dose for all adults without evidence
of immunity. The footnote also
has been revised to reflect the
new definition of immunity to
varicella.
- The
influenza footnote (#5) has
been revised to reflect recent
ACIP recommendations to vaccinate
close contacts of children aged
0–59 months rather than
0–23 months.
- The
hepatitis B footnote (#9) has
been revised to reflect recommendations
to vaccinate any adult seeking
protection from hepatitis B virus
infection and vaccinate adults
in specific settings (e.g., sexually
transmitted disease clinics).

Why might some adults need vaccines?
Some
adults incorrectly assume that
the vaccines they received as
children will protect them for
the rest of their lives. Generally
this is true, except that:
- Some
adults were never vaccinated
as children
- Newer
vaccines were not available
when some adults were children
- Immunity
can begin to fade over time
- As
we age, we become more susceptible
to serious disease caused
by common infections (e.g.,
flu, pneumococcus)
Consult the Adult Vaccine Preventable Diseases page to learn about each disease. It includes a short description, symptoms, complications, transmission, and whether or not you need the vaccine as an adult.
