This site reflects US immunization policies, including links to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunization schedules.

Vaccine Safety

Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is an independent group of experts who review safety and efficacy data to make recommendations for the use of vaccines in the US, including schedules regarding the appropriate timing, dosage, and contraindications.

ACIP includes ex-officio members from other federal agencies and non-voting representatives of liaison organizations that bring related immunization expertise.

ACIP develops recommendations for the routine administration of vaccines, along with schedules regarding the appropriate timing, dosage, and contraindications.
