CDC issues new comprehensive guidelines for childhood and other vaccines
The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released updated vaccination guidelines for children and adults to help protect against serious diseases, including COVID-19. The new protocols specify the types of vaccines to administer and the recommended timing. For COVID-19, unvaccinated individuals should receive initial vaccine doses, while those previously vaccinated are advised to get the 2024-2025 booster at least eight weeks after their last dose. Adolescents aged 12 to 17 are recommended to receive vaccines to protect against current virus strains, reports TOI. Adults over 18 should receive at least one dose, with additional boosters recommended for those 65 and older or with certain health conditions. The childhood immunisation schedule protects against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, chickenpox, and influenza. It emphasises consecutive vaccinations, catch-up doses for missed vaccines, and requires annual flu vaccines starting at six months. New additions include RSV immunisation for infants under eight months. Adult vaccine guidelines cover boosters for Tdap, shingles, HPV, pneumococcal, hepatitis A, and meningococcal diseases, ensuring comprehensive protection throughout life.
