The schedules summarize final recommendations previously made by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and made official by the CDC director. The 2025 schedules were approved by ACIP and adopted by the CDC Director on October 24, 2024, and subsequently approved by several professional organizations.
CDC’s goal is for the schedules to provide the public, health care providers, and programs with clear, concise, and up-to-date immunization information. These tools help ensure immunizations are timely, effective, and given safely.
