Adult immunization schedule by age - Recommendations for ages 19 years or older, United States, 2025

Adult immunization schedule by age - Recommendations for ages 19 years or older, United States, 2025

Administer recommended vaccines if vaccination history is incomplete or unknown. Do not restart or add doses to vaccine series if there are extended intervals between doses. The use of trade names is for identification purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the ACIP or CDC.

NOTES

For vaccine recommendations for persons 18 years of age or younger, refer to the Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule.

Additional information

  • For calculating intervals between doses, 4 weeks = 28 days. Intervals of ≥4 months are determined by calendar months.
  • Within a number range (eg, 12-18), a dash (–) should be read as "through."
  • Vaccine doses administered ≤4 days before the minimum age or interval are considered valid. Doses of any vaccine administered ≥5 days earlier than the minimum age or minimum interval should not be counted as valid and should be repeated. The repeat dose should be spaced after the invalid dose by the recommended minimum interval. For further details, refer to Table 3-2, Recommended and minimum ages and intervals between vaccine doses, in Timing and Spacing of Immunobiologics.
  • Information on travel vaccination requirements and recommendations is available at cdc.gov/travel/.
  • For vaccination of persons with immunodeficiencies, refer to Table 8-1, Vaccination of persons with primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, in Altered Immunocompetence.
  • For information about vaccination in the setting of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak, contact your state or local health department.
  • The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury claims. All vaccines included in the adult immunization schedule except PPSV23, RSV, RZV, mpox, and COVID-19 vaccines are covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Mpox and COVID-19 vaccines are covered by the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). For more information, refer to www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation or www.hrsa.gov/cicp.

◊◊ Meningococcal vaccination

  • Special situations for MenACWY:
    • Anatomical or functional asplenia (including sickle cell disease), HIV infection, persistent complement component deficiency, complement inhibitor (eg, eculizumab, ravulizumab) use: 2-dose primary series Menveo or MenQuadfi at least 8 weeks apart; 1 booster dose 5 years after primary series and every 5 years if risk remains.
    • Travel in countries with hyperendemic or epidemic meningococcal disease, or for microbiologists routinely exposed to Neisseria meningitidis: 1 dose Menveo or MenQuadfi; 1 booster dose 5 years after primary series and every 5 years if risk remains.
    • First-year college students who live in residential housing (if not previously vaccinated at age 16 years or older) or military recruits: 1 dose Menveo or MenQuadfi.
    • MenACWY vaccines may be administered simultaneously with MenB vaccines if indicated, but at a different anatomic site, if feasible.
    • For MenACWY recommendations in outbreak setting (eg, in community or organizational settings, or among MSM) and additional meningococcal vaccination information, refer to www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/rr/rr6909a1.htm.
  • Shared clinical decision-making for MenB:
    • Adolescents and young adults age 16-23 years (age 16-18 years preferred; NOTE: To optimize rapid protection [eg, for students starting college in less than 6 months], a 3-dose series [0, 1-2, 6 months] may be administered) not at increased risk for meningococcal disease: Based on shared clinical decision-making.
      • Bexsero or Trumenba (use same brand for all doses): 2-dose series at least 6 months apart (if dose 2 is administered earlier than 6 months, administer dose 3 at least 4 months after dose 2)
    • MenB vaccines may be administered simultaneously with MenACWY vaccines if indicated, but at a different anatomic site, if feasible.
  • Special situations for MenB:
    • Anatomical or functional asplenia (including sickle cell disease), persistent complement component deficiency, complement inhibitor (eg, eculizumab, ravulizumab) use, or microbiologists routinely exposed to Neisseria meningitidis.
      • Bexsero or Trumenba (use same brand for all doses including booster doses): 3-dose primary series at 0, 1-2, 6 months (if dose 2 was administered at least 6 months after dose 1, dose 3 not needed; if dose 3 is administered earlier than 4 months after dose 2, a 4th dose should be administered at least 4 months after dose 3).
      • Booster doses: 1 booster dose 1 year after primary series and every 2-3 years if risk remains.
    • Pregnancy: Delay MenB until after pregnancy due to lack of safety data in pregnant persons. May administer if at increased risk and vaccination benefits outweigh potential risks.
    • For MenB recommendations in outbreak setting (eg, in community or organizational settings and among MSM) and additional meningococcal vaccination information refer to www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/rr/rr6909a1.htm.
    • MenB vaccines may be administered simultaneously with MenACWY vaccines if indicated, but at a different anatomic site, if feasible.
    • Adults may receive a single dose of Penbraya (MenACWY-TT/MenB-FHbp) as an alternative to separate administration of MenACWY and MenB when both vaccines would be given on the same clinic day. For adults not at increased risk, if Penbraya is used for dose 1 MenB, then MenB-FHbp (Trumenba) should be administered for dose 2 MenB. For adults at increased risk of meningococcal disease, Penbraya may be used for additional MenACWY and MenB doses (including booster doses) if both would be given on the same clinic day and at least 6 months have elapsed since most recent Penbraya dose.
  • Contraindications and precautions:
    • For contraindications and precautions to meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) [MenACWY-CRM (Menveo); MenACWY-D (Menactra); MenACWY-TT (MenQuadfi)], refer to MenACWY Appendix.
    • For contraindications and precautions to meningococcal B (MenB) [MenB-4C (Bexsero); MenB-FHbp (Trumenba)], refer to MenB Appendix.

      • Persons who are sexual partners of the persons described above.
      • Persons who anticipate experiencing any of the situations described above.
    • Pregnancy: There is currently no ACIP recommendation for Jynneos use in pregnancy due to lack of safety data in pregnant persons. Pregnant persons with any risk factor described above may receive Jynneos.
    • Health care personnel: Vaccination to protect against occupational risk in health care settings is not routinely recommended.
  • Contraindications and precautions:
    • For contraindications and precautions to mpox, refer to Mpox Appendix.

‡‡ Poliovirus vaccination

  • Routine vaccination:
    • Adults known or suspected to be unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated: Administer remaining doses (1, 2, or 3 inactivated poliovirus [IPV] doses) to complete a 3-dose primary series (NOTE: Complete primary series consists of at least 3 doses of IPV or trivalent oral poliovirus vaccine [tOPV] in any combination). Unless there are specific reasons to believe they were not vaccinated, most adults who were born and raised in the United States can assume they were vaccinated against polio as children.
  • Special situations:
    • Adults at increased risk of exposure to poliovirus who completed primary series (NOTE: Complete primary series consists of at least 3 doses of IPV or tOPV in any combination): May administer one lifetime IPV booster.
