What they’re saying:<\/p>

“The new schedule is endorsed by 13 medical societies and health organizations and marks the first time ACOG has formally released an immunization schedule that differs from federal vaccine recommendations,” the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>

The immunization schedule is specifically for pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women.\u00a0<\/p>

“Changing national recommendations coupled with rampant vaccine misinformation are resulting in confusion for both patients and health care professionals,” said ACOG President Camille A. Clare. “It is incredibly important for the public to have access to reliable, evidence-based information on maternal immunizations from a trusted source. ACOG is proud to be that source.”\u00a0<\/p>

The group said the guidance was developed by ACOG\u2019s Immunization, Infectious Disease, and Public Health Preparedness Expert Work Group and reflects ACOG\u2019s commitment to developing vaccine guidance based on peer-reviewed scientific data and evidence-based medicine.<\/p>

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians are among the 13 organizations that have endorsed ACOG\u2019s 2026 maternal immunization guidance.<\/p>

“Babies are among the most vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases,” said American Academy of Pediatrics President Andrew Racine. “Their immune systems are still developing, and in those first months of life, they rely on us\u2014the adults around them\u2014to help keep them safe. Maternal vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect not only the mother but her newborn as well.”<\/p>
