Today’s ACIP meeting promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines. AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations. https://t.co/iL3kubqbv2

The firing of the CDC’s director and subsequent resignations of CDC officials will have a direct impact on children’s health. AAP will continue to serve as a trusted partner for pediatricians and parents, sharing scientific recommendations that put the health of children first.

(3/3) This is a dangerous moment for our country and for the health of every family in every community. Families deserve transparency and accountability when it comes to decisions that affect their health.

(2/3) That changed this week with the abrupt ousting of trusted leaders who refused to follow politically motivated orders instead of sound public health practices.

(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.

The American Academy of Pediatrics released new COVID-19 vaccination guidelines that, for the first time, diverge significantly from the recommendations from the CDC. The changes leave parents with competing guidance as we head into the fall. "You should trust the American

The AAP has always been a leading voice in vaccine recommendations. We will continue to publish our own immunization schedule and make science-backed recommendations that pediatricians and families have trusted for decades. https://t.co/FmAEEzNjjf

The CDC just released the latest data on kindergarten vaccination rates, showing fewer children are immunized. Every parent, policymaker, and public health leader in the country should be coming together to increase access to vaccines. https://t.co/JjBxWdAWmr

The administration continues to erode confidence in childhood vaccination designed to keep kids safe and healthy. The AAP will continue to ensure that parents and pediatricians have access to accurate information around vaccinations that protect kids. https://t.co/u8Fmgh82U6

The measles virus is one of the most contagious and infectious diseases known. As cases rise, vaccinating your children is the most effective way to keep them safe. Learn more about how you can protect your children and community. https://t.co/Kgts1QOCNr

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors' motivations puts children's health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations. https://t.co/BmRlh6wx1G

Vaccines "are one of the best tools we have to protect children's health," says AAP President Susan Kressly. Watch the full conversation to hear why progress in vaccine policy is at risk and how the AAP is taking action. https://t.co/k1212wfgA7

The @JohnsHopkins Center for Outbreak Response Innovation confirmed at least 1,283 measles cases in the US so far this year, the highest number recorded in over 3 decades. Children must remain up to date on their MMR vaccinations to stay protected. https://t.co/u09EDPo7cb

The American Academy of Pediatrics is proud to stand with leading public health organizations by taking legal action to protect the integrity of our immunization system to defend science, evidence-based medicine, and the policies that keep children safe. https://t.co/bmaQ4Z6N6O

Children’s lives have been lost in the devastating floods sweeping through Texas. Each child’s death is a life cut short, a family forever changed, a community in mourning, and a future taken too soon. We must all come together to heal and support local recovery efforts.

The budget reconciliation bill passed by Congress threatens children’s health – making sweeping cuts to programs children and families rely on. Learn more from AAP News at https://t.co/onlcRY1xDY

The Senate just passed a budget bill that would gut Medicaid and SNAP — programs millions of kids rely on for care and nutrition. Cuts this big threaten every child’s health. Pediatricians urge the House to reject this bill and protect kids’ care. https://t.co/0KUHaHp6QL

Medicaid cuts don’t just affect some—they affect us all. It means fewer kids get vaccines, fewer parents get mental health care, fewer women get prenatal visits, & more face medical debt. @AmerAcadPeds, @the_aafp, @acog_org & @acpimphysicians urge Congress: protect Medicaid.

The American Academy of Pediatrics joined fellow medical leaders in a new op-ed in @statnews with a clear, urgent message: Vaccines work—and they save lives.
