According to a new report from the CDC, outpatient visits for “flu-like” illness are at their highest in nearly 30 years, and nine children have died of flu this season. In addition, a recently reported pediatric death from last year brings the 2024-’25 season total to 289, which is higher than any season since the CDC started tracking in 2004.

The surge in flu-like illness comes just as the CDC announced an overhaul to the childhood vaccine schedule that includes removing universal recommendations for numerous vaccines including flu. Despite changes to federal recommendations, the AAP will continue to recommend the flu vaccine for all children starting at six months of age.

“A pesar de los cambios en las recomendaciones federales sobre vacunas infantiles, la AAP seguirá compartiendo su propio calendario de vacunación basado en la evidencia.

Tradicionalmente, expertos en salud, científicos y pediatras han seguido revisando nuevos datos como parte del proceso de recomendación de inmunización, lo que ayuda a proteger a bebés y niños contra algunas de las enfermedades prevenibles más peligrosas. Las recomendaciones de la AAP tienen una base científica y padres y pediatras han confiado en ellas durante décadas.

An unvaccinated child is at higher risk of catching measles and losing the chance of a healthy life. Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.

Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

Vaccines play a critical role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases and have led to the eradication of several diseases and significant reductions in illnesses and fatalities.

A statement from more than 40 leading medical, health and patient advocacy organizations in response to this week’s ACIP meeting:

"We are deeply alarmed by the actions taken this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The apparent goal of this meeting was to sow doubt in vaccines rather than advance sound vaccine policy, and we will all pay a price for that.

This is a significant departure from the historic role ACIP has played in shaping vaccine policy in the United States. Previously, we could expect science to drive decisions, experts to debate evidence, and consensus to lead to shared, clear recommendations. That is not the case with the current committee, and this change puts Americans’ health at risk.

The evidence remains clear: the hepatitis B birth dose is safe and an essential component in helping children develop immunity against a serious, potentially lifelong disease. In fact, since the U.S. implemented the hepatitis B birth dose in 1991, annual hepatitis B infections among infants and children have dropped 99%, from 16,000 to less than 20. This progress is directly attributable to timely vaccination.

ACIP’s actions will harm children, their families and the medical professionals who care for them. That is why we are joining together to speak up. American families deserve information grounded in science and clear, consistent guidance – not speculation intended to scare them. We urge the CDC leaders to reject ACIP’s new recommendation and instead retain the current, evidence-based approach.”

"Las nuevas decisiones sobre las vacunas pediátricas contra la COVID-19 están creando obstáculos para los padres que buscan vacunar a sus hijos. En su último artículo, The New York Times comparte historias de padres de todo el país que tienen dificultades para acceder a estas vacunas, ya que muchas farmacias ya no tienen dosis pediátricas.

La AAP sigue recomendando a los pediatras y a los padres que sigan nuestro calendario de vacunación basado en la evidencia, que recomienda que todos los niños menores de 2 años se vacunen contra la COVID-19. Los niños mayores con alto riesgo de enfermedad grave, así como cualquier niño cuyos padres deseen vacunarlos, también deberían poder acceder a la vacuna.

Se anima a los padres a hablar con el pediatra de su hijo si tienen alguna pregunta sobre la vacuna contra la COVID-19. Lea el artículo completo del New York Times en el enlace a continuación."

New decisions regarding pediatric COVID-19 vaccines are creating obstacles for parents seeking vaccinations for their children. In its latest piece, The New York Times shares stories from parents across the country struggling to access these vaccines, as many pharmacies are no longer carrying pediatric doses.

The AAP continues to recommend pediatricians and parents follow our evidence-based immunization schedule, which recommends every child under age 2 be vaccinated against COVID-19. Older children at high-risk of severe illness, as well as any child whose parents wish to have them vaccinated, should also be able to access the vaccine.

Parents are encouraged to speak with their child’s pediatrician if they have any questions on the COVID-19 vaccine for their kids. Read the full New York Times piece at the link below.
