The Guide to Contraindications to Vaccinations was developed by the National Immunization Program, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, using information derived from the Standards for Pediatric Immunization
Practices, recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and those of the
Committee on Infectious Diseases (Red Book Committee) of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Some of
these recommendations may differ from those stated in manufacturers’ package inserts. For more details, consult
the published recommendations of the ACIP, the AAP, and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP),
and manufacturers’ package inserts.
