Routine vaccines across the life span, 2007

J Fam Pract. 2007 Feb;56(2 Suppl Vaccines):S18-37, C1-3.

Abstract

Routine vaccines are listed on the Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunization Schedule and the Recommended Adult Immunization Schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and reviewed and updated by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. For these vaccines, we discuss the disease burden, rationale for vaccination, efficacy, adverse reactions, and recommendations. Some new vaccines are discussed here (Tdap and zoster), whereas others (rotavirus and human papillomavirus) are discussed elsewhere in the supplement.
