CDC lowers number of vaccine recommendations for children

Hol

Well-known
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday lowered the number of vaccines it recommends for children.

The CDC now recommends all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18 previously on the schedule, NBC News reported.

“The loss of trust during the pandemic not only affected the COVID-19 vaccine uptake. It also contributed to less adherence to the full CDC childhood immunization schedule, with lower rates of consensus vaccines such as measles, rubella, pertussis, and polio,” reads the scientific assessment that the CDC based its decision on.

The assessment also noted that “there is a need for more and better science” on vaccines, but the new schedule does not mention that there are any specific vaccines children should not receive.

Not much will change for parents who want their children to continue receiving all the vaccines previously recommended, as insurance will continue to cover the shots.
 

American Academy of Pediatrics releases childhood vaccine recommendations that differ from CDC​

"The American Academy of Pediatrics released its recommendations for childhood vaccines on Monday, breaking significantly with the guidance released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month.
The AAP is recommending immunization against 18 diseases, including RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, influenza and meningococcal disease. The CDC had reduced its recommendations for childhood vaccines to 11 diseases.
"The AAP will continue to provide recommendations for immunizations that are rooted in science and are in the best interest of the health of infants, children and adolescents of this country," AAP President Andrew Racine said in a statement Monday.
Dr. Amanda Kravitz, a pediatrician at New York's Weill Cornell Medicine, told "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil the AAP is "still recommending all of the vaccines that we have been recommending for many, many years."
"So, there are no changes to the old vaccine schedule based on what the AAP is currently recommending," Kravitz said.
Both the AAP and CDC recommend vaccinating children against diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, human papillomavirus (HPV) and varicella (chickenpox). (Some vaccines, such as the MMR shot for measles, mumps and rubella, protect against multiple diseases.)"

The AAP has an overly high opinion of themselves and just like any cult they express verification of their expertise ‘because they say so,’ and their lack of studies is about to expose them.
