Four of the country's largest physician organizations released a coordinated set of fall vaccine recommendations this week, filling a gap left by the federal advisory committee that normally does that work. The guidance covers influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus for the 2026-2027 respiratory virus season.
The American Medical Association organized the effort with the Vaccine Integrity Project, based at the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. The recommendations come from the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and are posted on a new AMA website, SpreadTheFacts.org, alongside the coordinated fall immunization recommendations.
