Abstract:
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a group of medical and public health experts that provides advice to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, normally meets 3 times per year to develop US vaccine recommendations. The ACIP met October 23 to 24, 2024, to discuss influenza vaccines, chikungunya vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) immunizations, meningococcal vaccines, human papillomavirus vaccines, pneumococcal vaccines, and adult and child/adolescent immunization schedule revisions. This update summarizes the proceedings of these meetings, with an emphasis on topics that are most relevant to the pediatric population. Major updates for pediatric clinicians include information regarding COVID-19 and influenza vaccine recommendations, meningococcal vaccination considerations, and updates regarding the implementation and effectiveness of RSV immunization in pregnant people and infants.
