Vaccination calendar of the American Academy of Pediatrics does not fit the ideas of the CDC. Some recommend vaccine, others not.
A vaccination against the little ones just originated the first “shock” Between the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC).
This Tuesday, the AAP released one, in which it recommends that all the babies of 6 to 23 months get the covid-19 vaccinealready in 2025/26.
But the CDC does not recommend COVID-19 routine vaccination for babies and children.
Interestingly, AAP claims that they are precisely data do CDC what support His decision to vaccinate the younger ones – even if the CDC itself does not recommend it.
The data show that the hospitalizations by covid-19 in children under 2 are comparable to those of people among 50 and 64 years; And they are the highest among all pediatric groups.
More than half of children under 2 hospitalized with Covid-19 had no underlying medical condition.
The Academy considers that the risk of hospitalization of young children and people with high risk conditions continues to be quite high, Although we are not in the most worrying stages of the pandemic.
And there is still another point that generates discord: AAP recommends Vaccine for children and young people between 2 and 18 years. With some conditions: if they are at high risk of severe Covid, if they are in continuing care institutions (or another context of many risk contacts), if they have never been vaccinated against Covid, or if they live with someone who runs a high risk of Covid-19.
Other children who do not fit these risk groups should also consider it seriously to be vaccinated, according to AAP.
O CDC defends the opposite: It no longer recommends routine vaccination against COVID for healthy children.
It remembers the recent changes in the public health structure in the US. Since Donald Trump became president of the US again, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began to supervise the National Health Policy.
Just two months ago, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided dismiss all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices – and He replaced them with critics of the vaccine and with conspiracy theories experts.
