Who determines the childhood vaccination schedule most commonly followed by pediatricians?
Vaccine schedules in the US are developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a group of vaccine experts, with input from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases and the American Academy of Family Physicians. This schedule is published yearly in January and is the schedule recommended by the AAP.
