Vaccine Updates: What Parents Need to Know
You may have seen news stories or social media posts about recent vaccine updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). When vaccine information changes, it can feel confusing or even scary. We want to help explain what this means for your family.
The Short Answer: Nothing Is Changing Here
At Cradle Thru College Care, we are continuing to do what we have always done.
We will continue to follow the vaccine schedule from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
This is the same schedule we have used for years and trust for keeping children healthy.
Why We Follow the AAP Vaccine Schedule
The AAP is made up of pediatric doctors who care for babies, children, teens, and young adults every day. They carefully review research to make sure vaccines are:
- Safe
- Effective
- Given at the best ages to protect children
Their vaccine schedule is made
just for kids, with children’s health as the top priority.
What About the CDC Updates?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regularly reviews health data and sometimes updates how recommendations are shared. These updates can sound alarming in news headlines, but they do not mean vaccines are suddenly unsafe.
The AAP reviews the same science and gives guidance specifically for children. After reviewing the information, pediatric experts continue to support routine childhood vaccines.
What This Means for Your Child
- Your child’s vaccine schedule stays the same
- We will continue to recommend routine vaccines
- Our guidance is based on strong science and pediatric expertise
- Your child’s safety is our top priority
Vaccines help protect children from serious illnesses and help keep our community healthy.
