American Academy of Pediatrics releases childhood vaccine recommendations that differ from CDC – CBS News
American Academy of Pediatrics releases childhood vaccine recommendations that differ from CDC
By Jordan Freiman, Updated on: January 27, 2026 / 9:25 AM EST / CBS News
The American Academy of Pediatrics released its recommendations for childhood vaccines on Monday, breaking significantly with the guidance released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month.
The AAP is continuing to recommend immunization against 18 diseases, including RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, influenza and meningococcal disease. The CDC had reduced its recommendations for childhood vaccines to 11 diseases.
“The AAP will continue to provide recommendations for immunizations that are rooted in science and are in the best interest of the health of infants, children and adolescents of this country,” AAP President Andrew Racine said in a statement.
Dr. Amanda Kravitz, a pediatrician at New York’s Weill Cornell Medicine, told “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil the AAP is “still recommending all of the vaccines that we have been recommending for many, many years.”
“So, there are no changes to the old vaccine schedule based on what the AAP is currently recommending,” Kravitz said.
Both the AAP and CDC recommend vaccinating children against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenzae type b(Hib), Pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, human papillomavirus (HPV) and varicella (chickenpox). Some vaccines, such as the MMR shot for measles, mumps and rubella, protect against multiple diseases.
The CDC’s revised guidance recommended that only children in high-risk categories receive immunizations for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue, meningococcal ACWY and meningococcal B. The AAP still recommends all of these, except for the dengue vaccine, which it only recommends for some children who are 9 to 16 years old, live in areas where the disease is endemic and have previously been infected. It also noted distribution of the dengue vaccine was discontinued in the U.S. last year due to low demand.
The CDC had also said parents of children not in high-risk groups who want to vaccinate against COVID-19, influenza, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A and hepatitis B should base that decision on “shared clinical decision-making” with physicians.
