CDC 2023 Immunization Updates for 5 Vaccine-Preventable Illnesses

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued updated immunization schedules in February 2023 for both adults and children.

The following Guideline Topline highlights updates in the immunization schedule for: pneumococcal disease; measles, mumps, and rubella; hepatitis B; polio; and monkeypox.

In an earlier Guideline Topline we highlighted the changes affecting the 3 primary respiratory viruses that will soon begin circulating for the 2023-24 "flu" season, influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus.

Where relevant, we note recommendations from recent meetings of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
