The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has diverged from federal vaccine recommendations for the first time in 30 years, continuing to endorse vaccines for 18 life-threatening diseases, including Covid and measles, while the CDC has reduced its list to 11. Dr. Sean OβLeary of the AAP criticized the CDC’s changes as not based on medical evidence. The AAP’s guidance is supported by various medical groups and at least 28 state health departments.
