About the app

PneumoRecs VaxAdvisor is a standalone application. It provides patient-specific guidance consistent with the immunization schedule recommended by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). CDC releases guideline changes and enhancements to the app itself through app updates.

Use the app to eliminate the challenge of interpreting and synthesizing multiple pneumococcal vaccination recommendation statements.
