0:00American Academy of Pediatrics releases childhood vaccine recommendations that differ from CDC
0:00How does the American Academy
0:00of Pediatrics recommendations
0:00differ from what the
0:00federal vaccine guidelines are?
0:00And I want to emphasize this is unprecedented
0:00for the AAP and the CDC to diverge.
0:00They have been working in concert for decades
0:00The ‘new’ AAP vaccine guidance is basically the
0:00old CDC vaccine guidance.
0:00But now doctors normally follow
0:00the federal vaccine guidelines.
0:00So what does it mean?
0:00And what’s your advice to parents
0:00who are trying to think,
0:00Who do we believe?
0:00Well, it used to be they were the same guidance.
0:00You didn’t have to pick and choose.
0:00Frankly, my advice would be to
0:00follow the medical professional societies.
0:00In these
0:00unprecedented times,
0:00it’s best to talk to
0:00your pediatrician.
