The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has revised the recommended U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This change has been generating many questions and concerns among parents, pediatricians and public health experts

The CDC has changed the recommendations for several vaccines including influenza (flu), rotavirus, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A and B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The vaccines are no longer broadly recommended for every child but instead are recommended for those at high risk. For all other children, families are encouraged to discuss the vaccines with the child’s provider –called share clinical decision-making.

Officials did emphasize that insurance coverage for all vaccines will remain the same, even if a vaccine isn’t universally recommended.

Why This Matters to You
Public health experts and many pediatricians are raising concerns. This change can lead to more confusion and lower vaccination rates, leaving more kids at risk for preventable diseases and putting more strain on an already overburdened health system.

How the AAP Is Responding
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) — the nation’s largest association of pediatricians — has made it clear that its guidance differs significantly from the CDC’s new recommendations. The AAP continues to publish its own pediatric immunization schedule grounded in established scientific evidence and designed to protect children’s health.
Each state can still mandate what vaccines children need for daycare and school.

Allied providers will continue to follow the AAP guidelines. More than ever, your child’s trusted Allied provider will play a key role in guiding vaccine decisions.
