ACIP Guidelines

The ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) develops recommendations for the use of vaccines in the U.S. to protect public health. Their guidelines advise healthcare providers on who should get specific vaccines, when to receive them, and how often. These recommendations consider factors like age, health conditions, and vaccine effectiveness to prevent preventable diseases. Following ACIP guidelines helps ensure individuals and communities are protected through proper immunization practices, reducing the risk of outbreaks and illness.
