Vaccinations in Adults Clinical Practice Guidelines 


Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).


Human Papillomavirus vaccine


Catch-up immunization is recommended in persons aged 15-26 years, with a previous cutoff age in men was 21 years.


Influenza vaccine


For the influenza season, routine influenza vaccination is recommended in all persons aged 6 months or older who have no contraindications. 


Hepatitis A


Routine hepatitis A vaccination is recommended in all persons aged 1 year or older who have HIV infection, regardless of their level of immune suppression.


Hepatitis B


For hepatitis B vaccine, pregnant women at risk for infection or an adverse infection-related pregnancy outcome have been added to the list of vulnerable patients who may benefit from vaccination.


Persons aged 10 years or older who have complement deficiency, who use a complement inhibitor, who have asplenia, or who are microbiologists should receive a meningitis B vaccine dose 1 year following completion of a primary series. 


Afterward, they should receive booster doses every 2-3 years as long as their risk is elevated.


Td/Tdap Vaccine


Either the diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (Td) or tetanus and reduced diphtheria toxoids/acellular pertussis (Tdap vaccine) be administered in cases in which just the Td vaccine is currently recommended; that is, for the 10-year booster shot and for tetanus prophylaxis in wound management and the catch-up immunization schedule, including for pregnant women.



Varicella

Vaccination against varicella should be considered in individuals with HIV infection who do not have evidence of varicella immunity and whose CD4 counts are ≥200 cells/µL.
