American Academy of Pediatrics Releases 2026-2027 Vaccine Guidance for Children

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has issued its 2026-2027 recommendations for COVID-19 and RSV vaccines for children. The guidance advises a single dose of age-appropriate COVID-19 vaccine for infants and children aged 6-23 months, and for those aged 2-18 years, especially if at increased risk. This guidance aims to fill a gap in federal recommendations, providing clarity for pediatric care.
