AAP recommendations diverge from federal guidance under new administration
1.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released COVID-19 vaccination recommendations that differ significantly from current federal guidance, marking the first substantial divergence from government vaccine recommendations in 30 years. The AAP strongly recommends COVID-19 shots for children ages 6 months to 2 years, while also advising vaccinations for older children if parents choose. This contrasts with current federal guidance that does not recommend the shots for healthy children of any age but allows for vaccination in consultation with physicians.
