Summary:
- The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released the 2025 Childhood Vaccine Schedule, which includes new guidance for vaccines against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and COVID-19.
- The updated schedule recommends that all children receive the RSV vaccine, which helps protect against a common respiratory virus that can cause severe illness in young children.
- The schedule also encourages annual flu shots and COVID-19 vaccinations for children, as these illnesses can be dangerous for young people and the vaccines help prevent serious complications.
