Abstract
This chapter summarizes the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Adult Immunization Schedule for 2005 and 2006. Each vaccine is addressed in a similar manner—vaccine-preventable disease characteristics are briefly discussed, candidates for vaccination are discussed, followed by specifics of vaccination (dosage and administration, efficacy, side effects, and contraindications and cautions). Figure 1 and 2 are a copy of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Adult Immunization Schedules with footnotes.
