Where can I find a comprehensive listing of contraindications and precautions to vaccination?

An excellent resource for vaccine contraindications and precautions is the ACIP “General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization”, available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/general-recs/contraindications.html. A table in the Contraindications and Precautions chapter has a listing for all routine vaccines available in the United States. Immunize.org also has summary tables of contraindications and precautions for people of all ages (www.immunize.org/catg.d/p3072a.pdf) and a summary for vaccines given to adults (www.immunize.org/catg.d/p3072.pdf).

Contraindications and precautions to non-routine vaccines of special interest are not listed in the “General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization” but may be accessed directly on the CDC website:

• COVID-19 vaccines: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#contraindications
• Mpox/smallpox vaccine, live, replication-deficient (Jynneos, Bavarian Nordic): www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/interim-considerations/jynneos-vaccine.html#safety
