Immunization

AAP and Immunizations

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and its member pediatricians dedicate their efforts and resources to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. The AAP is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists.

Immunizations are one of several strategic priorities for the AAP. To learn more about its chapters, campaigns, and the Childhood Immunization Support Program, click below.
