AAP’s vaccine recommendations for U.S. children are built on decades of research, thousands of studies, continuous safety monitoring, and the expertise of physicians and scientists whose sole focus is children's health. AAP’s schedule is based on when children’s immune systems respond best to immunizations, and when they are most vulnerable to preventable diseases.

We don't change recommendations because of political considerations, speculations, or misinformation. Right now, the evidence continues to show that these vaccines are safe, effective, and important for protecting children.

A statement from AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s executive order on U.S. childhood vaccines:

"As measles cases reach a 35-year high in the U.S. and with cold and flu season quickly approaching, today's executive order on vaccines is not only disheartening but dangerous. Instead of ensuring every family can access life-saving vaccines for measles, influenza, RSV and more, federal leaders are once again spreading misleading claims.

Today's executive order is not based on ‘gold-standard science.’ There is no new evidence to justify significant changes to childhood immunization guidance. Dozens of studies involving millions of people show there is no link between vaccines and autism, and yet federal leaders continue to promote this outdated, disproven idea to scare families. Today's executive order will do nothing to support families of children with autism or advance understanding of the condition. The only purpose of this announcement is to sow confusion so that more people doubt the importance of vaccines. Delaying or skipping shots is risky, especially as measles continues to spread and children go back to school.

Vaccine recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics are tailored to the health of children living in the United States and are based on decades of research and systematic tracking of real-world experiences. Pediatricians recommend children receive certain vaccines at specific ages based on when children's immune systems will respond best and when they are most vulnerable to certain diseases. Sometimes this means children will receive a single shot that protects against multiple diseases, or they may receive multiple vaccines at one visit.

On-time immunization keeps our kids and our communities healthy and thriving. If parents have questions about vaccines, I encourage them to talk with their child's pediatrician or clinician.”

Kratom: “Natural” doesn’t always mean safe ⚠️

You may have seen kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) sold in v**e shops, gas stations, or online—often labeled as an herbal supplement. But families should know:

👉 Kratom acts on the same brain receptors as opioids
👉 It can be habit-forming, especially for teens
👉 Effects are unpredictable: energy at low doses, sedation at higher doses
👉 Products are not well regulated—contents and strength can vary

Why this matters for teens:
The developing brain is more vulnerable to dependence, mood changes, and risky patterns of use. What starts as “trying something natural” can quickly become something harder to stop.

Watch for warning signs:
• Mood swings or irritability
• Changes in sleep or energy
• Nausea or appetite changes
• Declining school performance

Start the conversation:
Keep it open and judgment-free. Ask what they’ve heard and share facts—not fear.

💬 If you have concerns about your child or teen, talk with your pediatrician. We’re here to help.
