Summary
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has released its first official maternal vaccination schedule, breaking from CDC recommendations for the first time. This move comes as the Trump administration, led by HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr (a longtime vaccine critic), dropped federal recommendations for flu and other maternal vaccines. Medical societies have endorsed ACOG's schedule, emphasizing maternal vaccines as a key element of protection for pregnant individuals and their babies.
