On this Page
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) provides advice and guidance to the Director of the CDC regarding use of vaccines and related agents for control of vaccine-preventable diseases in the civilian population of the United States. Recommendations made by the ACIP are reviewed by the CDC Director and, if adopted, are published as official CDC/HHS recommendations in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR).
CURRENT BCG Vaccine Recommendations
CDC's policies regarding tuberculosis (TB) and BCG vaccination have evolved since the publication of the joint ACET/ACIP recommendations on the use of BCG. Consult the TB website for current TB and BCG information.
