Top US doctors offer updated flu and COVID vaccine recommendations, aiming to ease confusion
Doctors’ groups say flu shots should start at 6 months and COVID-19 vaccines remain important for seniors, children and people with chronic conditions.
- On Wednesday, five leading medical organizations—the American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Infectious Diseases Society of America—jointly released fall vaccine guidelines for flu, COVID-19, and RSV.
- Federal vaccine advisory processes remain in legal limbo after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismantled the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel in 2025, leaving doctors without standard federal guidance.
- Medical groups recommend annual flu shots for everyone over 6 months, updated COVID-19 vaccines for those over 19, and one-time RSV doses for adults 75 and older, citing JAMA-published reviews showing all three immunizations lower hospitalization risks.
- To combat public confusion, organizations launched SpreadTheFacts.org providing evidence-based resources, while Medicare and private insurers confirmed coverage through 2027 to ensure continued vaccine access.
- Experts advise scheduling flu shots by October as protection wanes over the season, with mRNA-based flu vaccines now available for adults 50 and older offering enhanced protection options.
