CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) annually reviews the recommended Adult Immunization Schedule to ensure that the schedule reflects current recommendations for the use of licensed vaccines. In June 2004, ACIP approved the Adult Immunization Schedule for October 2004–September 2005. This schedule has also been approved by the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Changes in the Schedule for October 2004–September 2005

The 2004–2005 schedule differs from the previous schedule as follows:

• Both figures now provide a separate row for each vaccine (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
  
• Health-care workers have been added to the figure that provides immunization recommendations by medical indications and other conditions (Figure 2).
  
• The special note regarding influenza vaccination of pregnant women reflects the revised ACIP recommendations that all pregnant women should receive influenza vaccination regardless of preexisting chronic conditions.¹
