US pediatric organization diverges from CDC in Covid-19 vaccine advisory for children

American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children as young as six months and up to 23 months get the shot

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is urging that children as young as six months and up to 23 months receive the Covid-19 vaccine - a position that diverges from the current federal guidance given by the Trump administration's health agencies.

The AAP released its updated childhood immunization schedule, which outlines recommendations for vaccines against Covid-19, influenza and RSV for individuals under 18.
