In break with current CDC recommendations, leading pediatrics group recommends Covid-19 shots for young children
CNN ^ | 08/20/2025 | Amanda Sealy, Deidre McPhillips

The American Academy of Pediatrics released its updated recommendations for vaccines on Tuesday, including Covid-19 shots for infants and young children – a break from the current US for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.

“It differs from recent recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the CDC, which was overhauled this year and replaced with individuals who have a history of spreading vaccine misinformation,” the AAP said in a news release.

Current CDC recommendations for the Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 17 years should be “based on shared clinical decision-making,” the agency says.

The AAP recommendations are more explicit. It says that all children ages 6 through 23 months should receive a Covid-19 vaccine unless they have known allergies to the vaccine or its ingredients. It also recommends a single dose of the vaccine for children ages 2 through 18 years if they are at high risk of Covid-19, residents of long-term care facilities, have never been vaccinated against Covid-19, or live in a household with people who are high risk for Covid-19. It also says that the vaccine should be available for this age group even if they are not in these risk groups.

AAP has provided vaccine recommendations and published its own vaccine schedule throughout its nearly century-long history. But it has not traditionally diverged from federal recommendations.

Like the American Bar Association, they speak for less than 0.1% of their profession, on the furthest left.

The AAP is no longer worthy of parental trust. They are a big supporter of so called transgender care including mutilation.

Leading pediatric group profiting from Covid 19 shots recommends that you give your child an unnecessary shot so they can keep their revenue stream.

doctors and lawyers are the only professionals that legally get away with what they do call it “practice”...

would you trust an automotive repair shop that “practices” mechanics?...

Seeing as Pfizer is the majority donor to their organization, this isn’t a surprise.
That organization is evil and does not truly care for kids, just their wallets l
