The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has launched a new Vaccine Recommendations webpage in response to House Bill 2242 (PDF). The page provides current state immunization recommendations and related guidance for health care providers and local health jurisdictions.
It includes PDF schedules for childhood and adolescent and adult immunizations, along with answers to frequently asked questions. Recommendations are based on evidence from leading medical and public health organizations and outline who should receive vaccines, when, and under what conditions.
All vaccines recommended by DOH remain available at no cost for children under age 19 through Washington’s Childhood Vaccine Program (CVP) at participating providers. Uninsured adults ages 19 and older can receive recommended vaccines at no cost through the Adult Vaccine Program (AVP).
For additional information, visit the Immunizations and Vaccines page. For questions about Washington’s immunization recommendations, contact OI@doh.wa.gov.
