CDC, Pediatric and vaccine guidance
Digest more
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently reduced the number of recommended childhood vaccines.
Vaccines for hepatitis B and meningococcal disease, or meningitis, are no longer broadly recommended for all kids.
How many vaccinations your child gets from birth through 12th grade may soon change after the CDC issued new guidelines.
The American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday released its updated recommendations for what vaccines children should get. It’s a routine revision, hardly different from last year’s recommendations, but it carries more significance this year: More states and doctors are relying on it instead of a controversial new schedule from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
