  • Special Edition: Flu Season & Conflicting Vaccine Recommendations
    Jan 31 2026

    This week, the American Academy of Pediatrics released its updated vaccine schedule for children, and for the first time in decades, it does not fully align with the CDC's recommendations.

    All of this comes as the U.S. faces one of the worst flu seasons in recent years.

    In this Special Edition, we turn to Dr. Céline Gounder, a leading public health expert, physician, and epidemiologist, to help make sense of what's changing and what families should know.

    We break down what the split between the AAP and CDC actually means for parents, where this flu season stands right now, which symptoms and treatments matter most, and how to think about timing, vaccines, and risk moving forward.

    We hope this helps you feel more prepared and make more informed decisions for yourself and your family.
