US pediatric organization diverges from CDC in Covid-19 vaccine advisory for children

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released updated recommendations on COVID-19 vaccination for children, diverging from the current federal guidance provided by the CDC. The AAP recommends that children as young as 6 months and up to 23 months receive the COVID-19 vaccine, a position that differs from the existing federal guidelines. This updated childhood immunization schedule from the AAP also includes recommendations for vaccines against influenza and RSV for individuals under the age of 18. The article suggests that the AAP's stance on COVID-19 vaccination for young children differs from the guidance given by the previous administration's health agencies, though it does not provide further details on the specific differences in the recommendations.
