Additional information y For calculating intervals between doses, 4 weeks = 28 days. Intervals of ≥4 months are determined by calendar months. y Within a number range (e.g., 12–18), a dash (–) should be read as “through.” y Vaccine doses administered ≤4 days before the minimum age or interval are considered valid. Doses of any vaccine administered ≥5 days earlier than the minimum age or minimum interval should not be counted as valid and should be repeated as age appropriate. The repeat dose should be spaced after the invalid dose by the recommended minimum interval. For further details, see Table 3-2, Recommended and minimum ages and intervals between vaccine doses, in General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/ acip-recs/general-recs/timing.html. y Information on travel vaccination requirements and recommendations is available at www.cdc.gov/travel/. y For vaccination of persons with immunodeficiencies, see Table 8-1, Vaccination of persons with primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, in General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/ general-recs/immunocompetence.html, and Immunization in Special Clinical Circumstances (In: Kimberlin DW, Barnett ED, Lynfield Ruth, Sawyer MH, eds.

Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccination (minimum age: 11 years for routine vaccination, 7 years for catch-up vaccination) Routine vaccination y Age 11–12 years: 1 dose Tdap (adolescent booster) y Pregnancy: 1 dose Tdap during each pregnancy, preferably in early part of gestational weeks 27–36. Note: Tdap may be administered regardless of the interval since the last tetanus- and diphtheria-toxoid-containing vaccine. Catch-up vaccination y Age 13–18 years who have not received Tdap: 1 dose Tdap (adolescent booster) y Age 7–18 years not fully vaccinated* with DTaP: 1 dose Tdap as part of the catch-up series (preferably the first dose); if additional doses are needed, use Td or Tdap. y Tdap administered at age 7–10 years: - Age 7–9 years who receive Tdap should receive the adolescent Tdap booster dose at age 11–12 years. - Age 10 years who receive Tdap do not need the adolescent Tdap booster dose at age 11–12 years. y DTaP inadvertently administered on or after age 7 years: - Age 7–9 years: DTaP may count as part of catch-up series. Administer adolescent Tdap booster dose at age 11–12 years. - Age 10–18 years: Count dose of DTaP as the adolescent Tdap booster dose. y For other catch-up guidance, see Table 2. Special situations y Wound management in persons age 7 years or older with history of 3 or more doses of tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine: For clean and minor wounds, administer Tdap or Td if more than 10 years since last dose of tetanus-toxoid- containing vaccine; for all other wounds, administer Tdap or Td if more than 5 years since last dose of tetanus-toxoid- containing vaccine. Tdap is preferred for persons age 11 years or older who have not previously received Tdap or whose Tdap history is unknown. If a tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine is indicated for a pregnant adolescent, use Tdap. y For detailed information, see www.cdc.gov/mmwr/ volumes/69/wr/mm6903a5.htm. *Fully vaccinated = 5 valid doses of DTaP OR 4 valid doses of DTaP if dose 4 was administered at age 4 years or older 11/16/2023 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule, United States, 2024 COVID-19 protein subunit vaccine [Novavax] • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose or to a component of a Novavax  COVID-19 vaccine4 Appendix Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule for Ages 18 Years or Younger, United States, 2024 Guide to Contraindications and Precautions to Commonly Used Vaccines Adapted from Table 4-1 in Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization: Contraindication and Precautions, Prevention and Control of Seasonal Influenza with Vaccines: Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices—United States, 2023–24 Influenza Season | MMWR (cdc.gov), Contraindications and Precautions for COVID-19 Vaccination, and Contraindications and Precautions for JYNNEOS Vaccination Vaccines and other Immunizing Agents COVID-19 mRNA vaccines [Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna] Contraindicated or Not Recommended1 Precautions2 • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose or to a component of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine4 • Diagnosed non-severe allergy  (e.g., urticaria beyond the injection site) to a component of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine4; or non-severe, immediate (onset less than 4 hours) allergic reaction  after administration of a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine • Myocarditis or pericarditis within 3 weeks after a dose of any COVID-19 vaccine  • Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A)  • Moderate or severe acute illness, with or without fever • Diagnosed non-severe allergy (e.g., urticaria beyond the injection site) to a component of Novavax COVID-19 vaccine4; or non-severe, immediate (onset less than 4 hours) allergic reaction after administration of a previous dose of a Novavax COVID-19 vaccine • Myocarditis or pericarditis within 3 weeks after a dose of any COVID-19 vaccine • Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) • Moderate or severe acute illness, with or without fever type of influenza vaccine • Persons with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of any egg-based IIV, RIV, or LAIV of any valency.
