(Click on chart for pdf version with footnotes)

This schedule indicates the recommended ages for routine administration
of currently licensed vaccines, as of December 1, 2008, for children aged
0 through 6 years. Any dose not administered at the recommended age
should be administered at a subsequent visit, when indicated and feasible.
Licensed combination vaccines may be used whenever any component
of the combination is indicated and other components are not contraindicated
and if approved by the Food and Drug Administration for that dose of the series.

Providers should consult the relevant Advisory Committee on Immunization practices statement for detailed recommendations, including high-risk conditions: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/acip-list.htm. Clinically significant adverse events that follow immunization should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Guidance about how to obtain and complete a VAERS form is available at http://www.vaers.hhs.gov or by telephone, 800-822-7967.
