The American Academy of Pediatrics updated its recommendations for immunization on Tuesday, including Covid Shots for healthy children who differ from the advice from the federal government.
The group said it recommends a COVID shot for children aged 6 to 23 months. At the beginning of this year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed the medical and human service course. And he said that healthy children and pregnant women should not receive the vaccine.
And it issued its own recommendations since the 1930s. This year, the group interrupted from the American centers for control and prevention of diseases after Kennedy replaced members of influential vaccines with people who spread misinformation around the vaccines. The revised Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices – or ACCIP – said that in June in June he would re -evaluate the plan of immunization of childhood.
“And it will continue to provide recommendations for immunization, which are rooted in science and are in the best interest of the health of infants, children and adolescents,” said Susan Kressly, President of the Group.
In May, the CDC updated its website to say that healthy children “can receive vaccination against Covid-19, informed by the clinical judgment of the healthcare provider”. Previously, she recommended that every 6 months and older be vaccinated.
In other vaccines, a vaccine against hepatitis, which is no longer available, has been removed, and the recommended children up to 8 months receive a RSV vaccine and require influenza for children up to 6 months before the influenza season. Children aged 9 to 12 should receive a vaccine against human papillomavirus, from the previous recommendation of the initial dose after 11 years.
Changes in vaccination plans come as confusion for parents. The aceti will decide which shots will be covered with insurance companies or federally funded through a children’s vaccine program. Asking with the ACCIP, the questions that shots will be covered by insurance or easily accessible at clinics.
“And it urges every insurer to cover all the vaccines that are included in this immunization plan,” Kressly said.
