Abstract
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that adults aged ≥19 years receive various vaccines to prevent serious health conditions, including hepatitis B, herpes zoster/shingles, human papilloma virus (HPV), and pneumonia. Recent vaccine approvals by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have led to updates in the ACIP adult immunization schedule. This article provides a relevant clinical literature review for nurse practitioners on the newly approved vaccines for hepatitis B and herpes zoster and updated ACIP recommendations. In addition, recent FDA approval for expanded age of the HPV vaccine and updated ACIP recommendations for pneumococcal vaccines are discussed.
