Will any vaccines be added or removed from the list of required vaccines for U.S. immigration because of these new criteria?
At this time, two vaccines will be removed from the required list: human papillomavirus (HPV) and zoster. These vaccines will be removed because they do not meet either of the following criteria: • The vaccine must protect against a disease that has the potential to cause an outbreak. • The vaccine must protect against a disease that has been eliminated or is in the process of being eliminated in the United States. No vaccines will be added to the current list of required vaccinations for immigrants at this time. However, when the ACIP recommends new vaccines for the general U.S. population, CDC will assess whether these vaccines should be required for immigrants on a regular and as-needed basis, using the new criteria.
