Objective:

To present ACOG's new vaccine schedule for pregnant individuals, differing from CDC recommendations.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • ACOG's schedule includes Tdap, RSV, influenza, and Covid-19 vaccines, while CDC recommends only Tdap and RSV.
    • ACOG advises that RSV vaccination should occur only during one pregnancy.
    • Vaccination against Covid-19 during pregnancy protects both the pregnant individual and newborns.
    Interpretation:

    ACOG's new guidelines reflect a response to the evolving landscape of vaccine recommendations and public health messaging.

    Limitations:
    • The appropriate schedule for RSV booster shots remains unclear.
    • ACOG's recommendations may not align with CDC guidelines, leading to potential confusion.
    Conclusion:

    ACOG's decision to issue its own vaccination guidance highlights tensions with CDC vaccine policy under current leadership.
