Adult immunization schedule by age - Recommendations for ages 19 years or older, United States, 2024

• Routine vaccination:
  • Pregnant at 32-36 weeks gestation from September through January in most of the continental United States (NOTE: Providers in jurisdictions with RSV seasonality that differs from most of the continental United States [eg, Alaska, jurisdiction with tropical climate] should follow guidance from public health authorities [eg, CDC, health departments] or regional medical centers on timing of administration based on local RSV seasonality. Refer to the 2024 Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule for considerations regarding nirsevimab administration to infants): 1 dose RSV vaccine (Abrysvo™). Administer RSV vaccine regardless of previous RSV infection.
    • Either maternal RSV vaccination or infant immunization with nirsevimab (RSV monoclonal antibody) is recommended to prevent respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract infection in infants.
  • All other pregnant persons: RSV vaccine not recommended.
  • There is currently no ACIP recommendation for RSV vaccination in subsequent pregnancies. No data are available to inform whether additional doses are needed in later pregnancies.
• Special situations:
  • Age 60 years or older: Based on shared clinical decision-making, 1 dose RSV vaccine (Arexvy® or Abrysvo™). Persons most likely to benefit from vaccination are those considered to be at increased risk for severe RSV disease (NOTE: Adults age 60 years or older who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease include those with chronic medical conditions such as lung diseases [eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma], cardiovascular diseases [eg, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease], neurologic or neuromuscular conditions, kidney disorders, liver disorders, hematologic disorders, diabetes mellitus, and moderate or severe immune compromise [either attributable to a medical condition or receipt of immunosuppressive medications or treatment]; those who are considered to be frail; those of advanced age; those who reside in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities; and those with other underlying medical conditions or factors that a health care provider determines might increase the risk of severe respiratory disease). For additional information on shared clinical decision-making for RSV in older adults, refer to www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/rsv/downloads/provider-job-aid-for-older-adults-508.pdf.
  • For further guidance, refer to www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7229a4.htm.
• Contraindications and precautions:

  • Previously did not receive Tdap at or after age 11 years (NOTE: Tdap administered at age 10 years may be counted as the adolescent dose recommended at age 11-12 years): 1 dose Tdap, then Td or Tdap every 10 years.
• Special situations:
  • Previously did not receive primary vaccination series for tetanus, diphtheria, or pertussis: 1 dose Tdap followed by 1 dose Td or Tdap at least 4 weeks later, and a third dose of Td or Tdap 6 to 12 months later (Tdap can be substituted for any Td dose, but preferred as first dose), Td or Tdap every 10 years thereafter.
  • Pregnancy: 1 dose Tdap during each pregnancy, preferably in early part of gestational weeks 27-36.
  • Wound management: Persons with 3 or more doses of tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine: For clean and minor wounds, administer Tdap or Td if more than 10 years since last dose of tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine; for all other wounds, administer Tdap or Td if more than 5 years since last dose of tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine. Tdap is preferred for persons who have not previously received Tdap or whose Tdap history is unknown. If a tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine is indicated for a pregnant woman, use Tdap. For detailed information, refer to www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6903a5.htm.
