In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its Adult Immunization Schedule Recommendations for Ages 19 Years or Older to provide the most current evidence-based recommendations following comprehensive reviews of data related to vaccines. In its report, the CDC highlighted the importance of health care professionals staying up to date on the latest evidence. During the novel coronavirus pandemic, the ability to provide routine vaccinations to the adult population was limited and even halted at times. As in-person health care visits continue to resume, it is imperative for nurses to refocus on and be familiar with the most up-to-date vaccine recommendations. Here, we summarize information on vaccine guidelines, safety, and special considerations for women, and we highlight changes to the 2022 adult immunization schedule. Keeping individuals free of vaccine-preventable diseases is one of the most effective and important public health interventions in health care.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality.
