What are the current recommendations for pediatric vaccinations?
Pediatric vaccinations are essential for preventing various infectious diseases. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends adhering to the CDC's immunization schedule, which includes vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, varicella, and hepatitis B. Recently, the inclusion of the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 12 and older has been a significant update, with ongoing studies evaluating its safety and efficacy in younger age groups.
