The 2026 American Academy of Pediatrics Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule was released on Jan. 26, 2026 and is formally endorsed by 12 medical and healthcare organizations.
Today, more than 230 organizations issue the following statement in support of AAP’s schedule: 
“Today, our organizations are coming together to champion the best interests of children in the United States by showing our support for the 2026 American Academy of Pediatrics Recommended Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule. 
“Vaccines teach children’s immune systems to resist contagious diseases, keeping children healthy and active. For nearly a century, AAP vaccine recommendations have served as a guide for pediatricians, clinicians and parents on the optimal timing for routine immunizations to protect children from preventable illnesses. Developed by experts with specialized knowledge and experience in infectious diseases, public health and pediatrics, the recommendations are based on the latest scientific and real-world evidence. Importantly, AAP continues to recommend routine immunization against 18 diseases, including RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rotavirus, influenza, and meningococcal disease. 
“We urge parents who have questions about vaccines to talk with their child’s pediatrician or clinical care team.”
