SHM's Statement on Support of American Academy of Pediatrics 2026 Childhood Vaccine Schedule
SHM expresses its full support of the American Academy of Pediatrics 2026 vaccine schedule, released Jan. 26, 2026, and reaffirms that vaccines are safe, effective, lifesaving public health tools. In contrast to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommendations, the AAP vaccine schedule is grounded in decades of rigorous research and a strong scientific consensus, confirming efficacy of vaccines in preventing disease and related complications. SHM continues to stand with the AAP and other medical and public health organizations that anchor their decisions and recommendations in credible, evidence-based science. Following the AAP’s 2026 vaccine schedule will help curtail the recent rise in vaccine-preventable illnesses that hospitalists are beginning to encounter more regularly.

These patients face distinct ethical, legal, and structural challenges that can affect clinical care. In this perspective piece, we outline practical strategies for hospitalists to support patient-centered, equitable care for this population, emphasizing approaches that align with ethical and legal principles, mitigate bias, and respect patient autonomy.
